hence the title...
    A horse's wild spirit yearns to be free.
    A person held in prison wants to flee.

    Bad words can return to the outspoken.
    Always facing glares from the soft-spoken...

    From my view scenes of life resembled plight.
    Dreams and promises fall flat from hindsight.

    One way or 'nother, clearly unspoken.
    Time steals all souls leaving us heartbroken...

    Fleeting is life, old age soon approaches.
    Karma comes along, bringing reproaches.

    T'was then I saw the light when awoken.
    Memories of life shattered when broken...
