I see a child press a button, <br />then shout and jump with delight <br />that he made something happen, <br /> <br />but I have been pressing <br />the same buttons all my life <br />and I long for a way <br /> <br />out of every morning's maze <br />of roads and traffic <br />and people behind counters, <br />and all the rest of the repetitive <br />rounds of what I face and do, <br />or the Secret <br /> <br />of how to be in the maze <br />without being its slave, <br /> <br />and how to stay aware <br />of the difference <br />between comfort <br />and freedom <br /> <br /> <br />(.........10sept2)<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beyond-all-this/
