Lying down

Lying down, I cannot take,

I cannot take what I hate,

I hate to take the path un-trodden

Haunted with fright and sued by fear.

I hate to take the lost winds

The storms that cease to exist

The sand that stops to resist

Desists and resists from all footprints

Footprints of history and marks of mystery.

I cannot take lying down all.

The loss, the gain are shorter words

Hold no more but a temporal sway.

Yet I cannot take them all,

All lying down, in your way.

Disbelief raises winds of distrust

That blows the mind the mind that permits,

the logic prevail

And there sails

The ship of faith

Faith in the muscles

Faith in the arms

Faith in the mind

That sees no harms.

Lying down, I cannot take

What my faith cannot make

I hate to be mowed

To be muzzled and suppressed

To be pushed and recessed

Of life of despair and depressed

I stand afoot, and try to shake

To shake loose the shackles of fear

The chains of lies, that binds me to treachery

treachery of time that holds no more.

I shake in the wind

And air my mast

And my stake on it cast

Fling open the sail

To the wind fast.

Ah, I cannot take lying down

The destination’s call

Adieu, I bid, I bid to all.
