A Poem About Liberty - Mirage

A Poem About Liberty



Mirage


Overloaded with the stench of death and disease
Privacy relegated to thoughts
Hope turns doubtful in a floating mass
As hunger thunders like waves
Rolling in pangs of regret
Escaping peril while courting danger
Like an animal, the trap is set
Tired eyes blink upon the horizon
How far can rescue be
A mirage of uncertainty
Swallows the spirit
What price the right to liberty
