****************************************


The Protected Expected

 

Though there were many

Few were chosen

For their creativity

There was liberty

Freedom.

 

Who was given the power to decide?

Abide with the masses

Or go to hide in the canyons and passes.

The crow calls to the coyote

And he’s hungry.

 

Hungry for anything new

Have you thought of something?

What’s to do under the sun?

All is the same

Most things don’t ever change.

 

Wanting to be strange

Noticed

Different

Jealous

Rebellious

 

Though there were many rebels

Few were chosen

Providentially Protected

Earnestly Expected

Their survival already decided.
