Self Preservation

by anita - Aries - Not entered

Self absorbed in absurdity
Irelease myself from reality
In the need to escape as life unfolds
the wings of freedom have learned to fly
and soar away
from the concrete forests
of confusion.
Away from sirens,
horns, and exhaust.
Black top and traffic lights
Drug wars,
and street fights.
I'll fly away at any cost
out of the smog
and into the sun,
the moon, and the stars.
Then, descending - 
into deeper thoughts,
I'll land on my feet
onto blackened fields,
of clearcut devastion

Reason for writing:

    I'm not sure on the name still -I also call it Clearcut Devastation. I have seen too many of them.
