The Seal A seal swims a creature of elegance dives an example of what is right and pure leaps a monster of man catches A seal is stripped Skinned. What is a life that is not your own? What is your decision not made by you? A limp body operated by a weaker still mind As though a puppet master is expertly pulling your strings Limbs. A seal is like a gymnast It lands bars, land It balances beam, ball It dances captivates entrances. How is it that something with movement so free? From the heart, Is spirit shattered with no trace of what has been, left behind the curtains are closed but the show isn’t over An everlasting audience Or pressure for forever captivation and demand Why is it that perfection is demanded? Something, anything Is demanded And domination rules always Little do we know that perfection, was the original state. Before blindness ensued destruction of what was A seal
