Dec 2014
They always saw the world as a place half empty, overtaken by decay and too late to escape.
As if we were lowest on the food chain and the world really were dog eat dog they raised me up.
They've trained us to hide.
They taught us fear.  

All we face is danger.
Our instincts scream "run"  
Where is goodness?
Better stay in your cage for that is wisdom and only there are you safe
Brainwashed by cowardice we may breathe, but does anyone ever live?

The world is no death trap though they are afoot within it.
If safety means staying in a cage give me a spoonful of danger.  I'd sooner die unafraid.
