PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Red brick walls lock away

     within rigid structures must stay

rules seek to contain

     dreams of youth running free

empty words upon the wall

     equations that nothing contain

teaching the words of long since dust

     seeking to stifle youthful dreams

seconds move upon the wall

     counting time that never does change

endless hours of endless days

     too long years till running free

longing gazes cannot be contained

     flights of fancy running free

dreams of that which will never be

     unseen by those who would contain

too many die and do conform

     crushed by traditions long

death of dreams of youthful days

     things that now will never be

kept alive by some not known

     youthful dreams hidden away

till the day they may run free

     till then born may be
