Trapped
My mind seeks the voids of interstellar space
to become One and companion with
the scintillating jeweled galaxies
gracefully pirouetting in ebon night
far beyond the reach of greedy, gregarious man...
But it is bound by the iron bonds of mankind's
willful ignorance of the universe, and by his
blind savagery, ephemeral though it may be--
it has trapped the creative among us...
