                RANSOM
          By ... Steve Lucky

Am I being held for ransom?
Do secrets in need of revealing still untold
Keep me from my intended destination?
Those secrets would have been told much soon
If I did not feel like I am being held for ransom.
My fear remains the same day after day.
Somehow I must pay a price
Too great for me to even consider paying.
Crying for help seems the best thing to do.
Often overlooked by adults, it is a useful skill
Where I can show my ability
Not to overlook that which seems unimportant.
Using the strength of an army I look
For someone who can defend me
Against those who wish me harm.
Eventually I will settle for someone who can afford
To pay the ransom.
