They say no man is an island

they say no man is an island
merely a prisoner of the land
yearning for the freedom of the sea
but shackled by the roots of redwoods

they say no man is an island
merely a prisoner of time
yearning for the freedom of solace
but shackled by the hands of clocks

they say no man is an island
merely a prisoner of expectations
yearning for the freedom of expression
but shackled by the handshakes of politics

they say no man is an island
merely a prisoner of success
yearning for the freedom of passion
but shackled by collars of career

they say no man is an island
and I believe that is why he is sad.
