Jailbreak

In an unjust society the only place for a just man is prison. - Thoreau

come daybreak

it's an earthquake 

it's a file baked into a cake

it's payback with a backache

it's freedom at stake

real and not fake

hardly a clambake

it's yours to take

for heaven's sake

it's a jailbreak

Author's Note

"Why the jailer does not leave open his prison doors, - why the judge does not dismiss his case, - why the preacher does not dismiss his congregation! It is because they do not obey the hint God gives them, nor accept the pardon which he freely offers to all." - Thoreau

It’s a file baked into a cake. Yep, you wouldn’t take being locked up easy. Anything to get to get out. Saw this playing out like a movie Pete. Hope all is good in your world.

lol. thanks chris. good to "see" you. has been a cold, snowy winter here, twice over a foot of snow. even a blizzard. i'm well - a little tired from clearing snow and ice. hope you are well.

Punchy, raw rhythm—like life itself smacking you awake.
Every line hits, bruised but unbowed, carrying teeth and laughter.
