Imprisoned-
The futility of a man
Condemned to die-
Clamouring-
Like children,
Asking to be let out-
Stampeding-
Uncontrolled, violent,
Wild-free-
Bubbling-
Irresistible
As the froth on beer-
Measured,
Meditated, wise,
Dignity? Or mere breath?
Frightened,
Hesitant, doubting-
Uncertainty,
Giving way to hope,
To conviction,
To words!
