Escape the cage

Excuse me.
  Simple questions require simple answers.

Why not?

Thinking confined by others,
   just another way to allow the bars to be built.

Going with the majority,
  might as well add the lock.

New thoughts,
  liken to a breakout.

Scrape at the walls,
  file through the bars.

Might require some time and effort.

It's worth it.

Escape the cage,
  and slowly walk into my native desert.

Been slacking a bit. At least the time away gave me time to think. Thanks, my friend!

Rene seemed to like this so I had to poke in and read you too. I liked the introduction:

Excuse me.
Simple questions require simple answers.

This transparent cage is often built by narrow-minded individuals. They have a open door right behind them...they just refuse to see the obvious. Instead they choose to look forward to mess with the bars and the lock with no key...I think they just prefer the drama.

Thank you. I agree. I just prefer to let my eyes stay open, and let my thoughts run free.
Not always fun, but I prefer the honesty. Again, thanks for stopping by!

boxes, cages..implements of confinement .. Love the last line .. I am familiar with the desert and there is so much that many do not see... Love your thoughts in the piece!

[Jon Roggie]

Trying to get across the thought to think for yourself. Glad you liked it Pixie!

I saw that .. i should have said confinement of the mind.. and for me I enjoyed the reference to "slowly walking into your desert" so many drive through quickly thinking it a barren, hot place..but it truly is a "out of the box" place... ( :
