Waves In a Water Cage
by mazHur

Like a lion in a cage
you will remain confined
to the surface of the Sea;
Oh, waves! With all your fury
you'll remain tamed
in the surge of water;
I will keep watching you
like people watch beasts
imprisoned in cages
of concrete and steel
which they can't get out from;
you too, angry waves, relax
I am young and beyond your reach
come with full force if you can
my legs are strong to outrun you;
you may be strong but I
can tame the smaller beastly
ripples and wade;
perchance you lost your mind
and tried to catch me
I bet you will fail,
and even if you broke your limits
you won't get me;
I am young and strong
my legs are brisk
my moves are rapid
better not foam and flash,
come on, catch me;
catch me if you can,
I am running and can escape
from your aqua clutches;
I know you will ultimately
get exhausted, sloth and slumber
with the approaching low tide;
when all your dutch courage
borrowed from boozy full moon
would be gone!

What a brave man you are to challange such a world in itself. But this watery beast is confined in his own world and can't 'outrun' you. And the same can be said to those beasts who are confined in a cage, too, and being watched by people. Adding up, it can also be said that you, one the people, is caged in your own world and is being watched a powerful presence, maybe God, the government, and you are caged. All the things are beyond your reach and, on the other hand, they 'outrun' you.

This is very nice, man!

Note***
I am not sure about this and you may have already done it in purpose, but some of the sentences don't have ',' at the end, which will surely make them 'run-on' sentences.
