Shakled

Innocence

By Dan-O VizziniPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Shakled

Simply speaking shackled are the voices of those who dream of freedom

If there were an iota of blame to place it would be in insolence inciting

Lies!! Inviting in hatred and bigotry simply to question

Existence, ostensibly portrayed as burden, leaving too many hurting.

New dissatisfaction lurking just beyond the

Corner— now we feel trapped in a contraption not of our own design craving

Exit— eventually the words will come, but until then a welcome 😶

About the Creator

Dan-O Vizzini

Has anyone else just been making it up as they go along? Have you gotten so far from where you started that finding your way back seems impossible?

Well— reach.

Power when exercised properly is a beautiful thing.
