    Mindful am i

    The tossing and turning
    to my minds yearning
    possess impossible questions
    to tomorrows journey

    who's reasoning is more sufficient?
    the man to the left or the man
    in the darkest distance

    for what we find upon further investigation
    is a stagnant compass
    who's equilibrium is uncomplacent

    liberation is soli upon my shoulders
    for all of society treats me
    like a caged lion cub
    who restlessly gets older

    hear me now my adversary
    I do not stand alone
    against you
    such is why I do not worry

    to take up against me is to find defeat
    not easy will it be to breathe
    under the soles of my feet

    Not mellifluous, but melodious verses due to good and correct usage of alliterative units, specially in the first stanza. A poem having an eloquent content.
