Poem – Nowhere to Run

We live in a world of make believe.
We live in a world where some play games to deceive.

I long for that place to stand in the sun.
To have no fear and no intention to run.

But there are those who cannot help but cultivate the darkness inside.
They want others to fear so much that they run and hide.

I do not know how to get others to not be afraid.
I know that many have bought into this pompous parade.

But I cannot allow the suffering of so many ancestors go to waste.
While greedy monsters try to block all the gates.

I know there is a tipping point that will eventually come.
And then those that have done the harm will have nowhere to run.
