Step Out To Outside Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Spendthrift thoughtless greedy glide,
dovetail decades as stillborn dead,
seldom seeking soul inside,
forgotten lie before life’s sped.
Ostrich imitate, divide
themselves from freedom: chicken-head.
Beware batallions blind who ride,
queue jump, monopolise board, bed.

Refute temptations of soft ride
conventional safety, overfed,
voice stifled, choice requalified
by hierarchies restrictive, led
comatose, self-justified,
enslaved, priorities misled.
Iconoclasts, disqualified,
accounts must render overhead.

Whatever reasons that decide
individual's insolence often bled
white despite imagination wide,
hope, scope denied, twisting heart, head,
his place is precious. Don’t deride
diff'rences dividing awkward tread
from cowards' superficial, slide:
those most behind believing self ahead!
