To Show Flare Poem by RIC BASTASA

no one is
totally free
hence there
will be compromises

you share a room
you cannot just go
naked

you work
somehow you learn
to swallow your
pride

there is a place
where you are
not allowed to stay

a house where
you cannot sleep and
a chair which you
cannot sit

always there are
do's and dont's
you have to eat
even if you do not
like it

you say words
which you do not mean
and finally you
say, Life is not fair
but just the same
you got to show
flare...
