Patched larva molts into a winged adult
the lake depths under larval assault

Nice to surface once in a while
from the depths of bondage
the chains that keep you attached
submerged to a murky cubicle
where it is forbidden to chat
you must watch the time spent in the can...

Watery tombs lie beneath the attractive pitches
that draw people to the land of the 'free'
modern day slavery in the making
a paradox is there's something worse
besides the global induced fury
to make money for somebody else.

the larva yearns to be winged
free itself from the depths of bondage
chains and hooks of necessary employment
where it is forbidden to chat
and  lives for that 'free' day.

Yep...welcome to the 21st century.
I think my soul was happier in a long ago, simpler time. Well done once again. Chris

Each day can bring a renewing.  Sometimes it just takes time to get to that day.

Enjoyed the read.

Can you rewrite this.

Bottom section gets lost.

Flights of fancy dont fly.

Words are there but "it doesn't fly for me".
