A villanelle about grasping the green light of opportunity.
           

Opportunity

If freedom and liberty are engraved

In green lights; in reach with just a stretched hand

Will you decide to stay chained and enslaved?



You have been trapped in a prism; depraved

Light only refracted; it would have spanned

If freedom and liberty were engraved.



Now a side is open; a path is paved

All you need is an inner force to stand

Willy you decide to stay chained and enslaved?



Your misery-the horror-can be waived

You can sing as an uncaged bird; fly grand

If freedom and liberty are engraved.



They are! Right in your peripheral; braved

Only waiting for you to get off land

Will you decide to stay chained and enslaved?



Here is the chance that many have so craved

So cease being puerile; and self-disband.

If freedom and liberty are engraved,

Cease to be enslaved; reach; and get unchained.
