Captive by Mahnaz B.

We are all held captive under horizon
under the sharp teeth of life
under its heavy jaw
and under its tyranny.
We are  held captive
in the claws  of suspicion and uncertainty
under the tight skin of this world
we all know,
know well that we are so minute,
so minute that soon we will disappear
but the life in our veins is bigger than reality
which rides us on the rays of sun
to the warmth of living and love.
