Acquiescence | Kenneth Vincent Walker

So I sit here amongst
Rabbits and squirrels,
While birds charmingly
Chirp, as my pain dulls.

For the wildlife are mainly
Content in just being free,
But I’ve Acquiesced to a
System that’s broken me.

Nature has a natural way
Of soothing the savage
Beast, and also the ability
Of granting my release.

It took me too many frozen
Years to finally understand
That there’s more to life
Than money, and more to

This world than any mere
Mortal can comprehend.
