Freedom Should You Dare

There is no patch of turf 
Not claimed by someone
No place free of challenge 
Upon your trespass
No place without the
Sufferance of an oversight
Where someone's rules and law 
Define your life 
Where your will is bent
In accomodation

Except one place 
Your choice 
By your wits and skill alone
for all or nothing
Live or die
Succeed or fail
Honor or craven
You quintessentially 
You

Solo

The high Seas!

The harsh freedom of the sea. They asked John Lennon if he would "take it all back" and he said "“if I could be a (beeping) fisherman I would". Nicely explained Joe.

Sounds almost as if a challenge makes the person evolve. I'm in! So long as the Sirens don't interfere.

I dare not!

But, envy those who do.

I suspect that you're right.
