Destiny

Life is inherently fatal,
You are born to die.
It is your Destiny!
Each day merely puts off the inevitable.

This version of "Trapped" written in Summer 1985.

      Trapped

Trapped in his skull
Like a man in a cell,
Staring out glassed over eyes, 
first one then the other. Both poems about  Despair

Trying to move his body,
Even a finger but
The wires are cut
Someone else controls his body.
