On Oceans of Blue

be careful
when breaking free
from a path
not to simply walk another
often new paths
are the same dirt
in different shade
in vain attempt to become separate
we become equal

be careful
when climbing
a new mountain
not to simply grasp at rocks
often new mountains
have the same valleys
on the other side
in vain attempt to escape
we remain

be careful
when swimming new rivers
not to simply dive straight in
often new rivers
flow the same water
at different speeds
in vain attempt to hide
we remain in sight

be careful
when making new decisions
often new choices
hide the same evil
in a different form
in vain attempt to set right
we remain wrong
