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.

Trying to move his body,

Even a finger but

The wires are cut

Someone else controls his body.
