The Wind Chamber

I feel a sort of calling,
to make some things, more clear;

this continuing, "drib-drabble"
is only what you hear !

I'm going to get some cameras
to film, as evidence;

showing all of the dreams,
still living well beyond the fence.

A Danger Zone surrounds me,
"chowing down" this weary soul;

it seems only I can see
that we all share a different goal.

I guess I'll just take care of mine
now that, our paths did cross;

I'm going to scoot right out of Dodge,
and try to, greatly cut my loss.
