Running

Run away, while you still can, faster and faster like the rabbit
Stuck in the hole, deep in the ground, hidden from the big bad
World. Leap like the gazelle, through the sky, flying
From cloud to cloud. Run. Run. Run.
From the world that gave you the slap
In the face. From those that punched
In those bruises on your arms. Run from the violence,
The destruction. Free yourself from the terror.

Let go the problems.
Play keep away with the birds
High above you. Race
Them across the field of freedom.
Find the lucky fountain. Search
For the pile of gold. Go after the clouds floating away
Far from the dirt and mud.
Keep on running.
Run. Run. Run.
Til you can run no more.
