The plot is hatched and the plan is perfect, <br />The ruse is made up and the noose is ready. <br />They are mad, with murder and spite <br />You are sadly, alone in this fight. <br /> <br />Buck up and take flight <br />Before it’s too late. <br />Look for a cover <br />Before they discover. <br /> <br />Cover your soles <br />With rubber or rags <br />Choke your panting <br />In the vaults of your chest. <br /> <br />They are everywhere and they are watching <br />Run fast my son, before it’s too late. <br /> <br />The night is long and the alley is dark, <br />The law is sleeping and the judges are bought. <br />Life is a mirage fading in distance <br />Death is dancing, like a shadow behind. <br />Run fast my son because the daggers are drawn <br />Keep up your pace, until the break of dawn. <br /> <br />Your mother must be waiting; <br />Watching for, movement at gate. <br />Your father must be pacing; <br />With a storm in his chest. <br /> <br />Evade the hounds, hide in a burrow; Or <br />they will be crushed, with lifelong sorrow. <br /> <br />Don’t be stupid to turn back and fight <br />Don’t be foolish to beg for mercy. <br />They all enjoy, the wriggle of a lamb, <br />Caught in their midst and helpless to fight. <br /> <br />They have the law, They are too strong <br />They have the lawyers to cover their wrong. <br />They can kill, anyone at will, <br />You are the cheapest, in their long bill. <br /> <br />Run fast my son, hide yourself my son, <br />I’m confused my son, with fear and sorrow. <br /> <br />Change the story, they have written for you, <br />Let the damn destiny, make a rare mistake; <br />Stop those bells, waiting to toll, <br />Give your life, at least a chance.<br /><br />Raghavan Warrier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/run-fast-my-son-before-it-s-too-late/
