Run!

Run, Woman!
Run wild:
free
and aflame,
feet obliterating
to ashes
the echoing voices
of those frightened
by the bloodstains
in the coliseum.

Run, Man!
Run fierce:
fear
cast aside,
freed by the force
of remembering
your soul
was forged
from the steel
glittering in the eyes
of God.

Run, Wild!
Run, Free!
Open the cages
of beasts
longing
to run beside you.
For unbound
we are
an inferno
burning down
a world
built
by trembling hands.
