Challenging Thoughts in a Conquered Mind

She coined an idea, not a phrase

Struggled through every day.

She wanted to tell;

it weighed heavy on her tongue, not her heart

A form of sentimental art

important to the lost kings and queens

somewhere in her mind


Oh if only she could find! what those rulers once believed

and practice what they preach


But her mind is a copper cage.

Wire so thin yet it collectively suffocates

And to this day

she continues in the cliche set by the those who draw the wire.

A bit dark and a bit relevant

Everything around you

moves forward

The businessmen march on their playground concrete

Your fingers tap like a drum....

waiting for your time to come

I pointed out to you that the birds fly south

for the cold days ahead.

Preparations like a picnic,

oh, you've got a be prepared.

Will you wish for something

other than death?
