Runner

Never staying in one place for more than a few months

They call me a runner

Always moving forward

Cautious steps only a thought

Footsteps hasten, pounding earth 

My past crumbling, crashing chaos

My future constructing, captivating 

Stay and be destroyed by rubble

Run and be saved by the dream

Run from the nightmare, it's the only way..

RUN

Run, run as fast as you can. It's hopeless, dear child. I'll catch you, for I can. Dream, dream till your mind is filled. It's hopeless, dear child. For your blood will be spilled. Hope, hope will all your might. It's hopeless, dear child. You've lost this fight. (How's that for a counter?)

Dear poet, your poem has a beginning and a middle, but no ending. It leaves me wondering and worried. Is this poem based on inspiration that came to you, or a decision that came from you?

I hope you will not run. I am reminded of a song by Natalie Merchant called "Motherland". The first line begins: "Where in Hell can you go?"
It is a question I often ask myself..."Where in Hell can I go???"
