Metaphor Writing Exercise
Earth - humanity's prison
A relentless obstacle
Challenges endless -
Booby traps always ripe -
How does one escape -
How does armour protect -
Death strikes anywhere -
Even from the inside
Body - a soul's cell
No keys to escape
Emotions agony -
Injuries terror -
A rebel I am -
I am no machine -
But a prisoner -
In the world of God
