Traps Poem by Afzal Shauq

Traps

Rating: 5.0


All wish for change...
to escape this life
or run toward something
perhaps freedom...

No hiding place
will they find
turning every corner
always trapped...

Bound by law
Born to custom
Like great walls
blocking their escape.

Society's restrictions
makes small hurdles
like high mountains
or wide rivers

Every step a trap
Impossible to leap.
Attempts to go on
in the hunt for freedom.
