life of mine


Short lived taste of joy and satisfaction.

Beating on my chest  searching for a beat of hope  

like a Tv with one good antenna  searching for a channel.

Dragging the chains of my ancestors while fighting 

my own fear and frustrations.

Around and around we go .

How this show will end  depends on how far and deep i go.

There must be beauty in this so called " Land of the free and home of the brave" 

just pray my weary eyes don't blink too fast and i succomb to be a spirtual ,

and mental slave.

 

Persuasion 

Unchained thoughts
