Escape
by
Ron Borchardt

Prickly aggravation swells like an ocean wave
An uncontrollable irritation
The itch that cannot be scratched
A surge of discomfort that extends beyond the simplicity of correction

Authority fed by you
Cage keepers who exist to impose
Impersonation of order
Intimidation through power
Surrender allowing rule

Events that are yours
Ownership defined by you
Accountability resulting from acceptance

Understanding the impossible task
Knowing that the mustard seed
That moved the mountain
Was planted by you
And that you are
Powerless to reverse the process

Walk, run, move, change today
Understand the seeds that you sow
Know the future is effected by you
Behavior today brings about tomorrow
And what results tomorrow may not be easily changed

The birth place of surprise
Is a lack of understanding
That leads to events
Not expected or foreseen
From actions your own
Words and deeds
