Fire Escape

starlight during the day

I hear her call

moonlight shines down

I see her fall

escape down a fire escape

to hide from them all

embrace dreams

to hold a candle too

reposition life

to a standstill

beckon forth from within

thirst for knowledge

the key to begin

Mad Max: The Time Has Come

the time has come

to search for the truth

in an unjust land

leaving behind only doubt

taking the essentials

preparing for the coming onslaught

peace shall be found

when war has been raged

and the landscape ravaged

those that resist enslaved

have now found their freedom

in the one chosen to liberate them

Raised by Wolves

take shelter from the gathering storm

we wait for it to pass

but we know in our hearts

fear prevails

as our surroundings darken

a path is found within

to lead us away to safety

what remains 

cannot be unbroken

like a child

fragile to begin with

then as strength returns

so shall we find in ourselves

the depth of courage

against disparity 

and awaken a truth

a burden of which we carry
