Poetry: Escape

Towards Freedom

With rifles sounding all around,
the little group,
towards the border and their freedom fled.
Just keep running,
don't look back, trust those men
in whose hands your lives are held.

With rifles sounding all around
and freedom just a step away,
one young man stopped.
And with tear filled eyes
he glanced back one last time
on his country so dear

With rifle sounding all around,
the little group,
together that last step took.
a step to freedom,
a step to peace,
and a step filled
with everlasting hope.

    ESCAPIST

    Come as you may, for I'm Quick and cunning,

    My trail seems to fade even while I'm running.
