Trapped

Here I sit, in concrete cave,
And while away the hours.
My mind, it turns to Mother Earth,
I yearn to see her flowers.

How cruel is man to lock away,
So beautiful a scene.
Valuing harsh geometric walls,
Over flowing fields of green.

Yet still I sit, a helpless fool,
An obedient limb of society.
Aimlessly crawling towards the void,
A red-hot mess of anxiety.

I can’t escape our culture’s grasp,
Cold hands, they clench my throat.
Trapped deep within this castle’s keep,
I dare not brave the mote.

The only hope that still remains,
Lies deep inside my mind.
For when I close my eyes to dream,
I leave this trap behind.

In thoughts I leave for mystic forests,
Where untouched majesty hides.
Crooked boughs reach for the clouds,
And colors coincide.

Oh life abounds in every inch,
With auras so surreal!
A wealth of emotion consumes my soul,
And brings me to a kneel!

Alas inside I still remain,
My body cannot leave.
But with a smile, I face this trial,
No longer will I grieve.
