Thoughts While Running

Do not think of your bed and your pillow now.
Do not think of that couch
And the comfortable mindlessness of your TV.
They hold no rest for you.

And do not dream of home,
Because you have no home.

"Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests,
But the son of man has no place to lay his head."

You want comfort?
Then look in front of you
And run the race.

You want peace?
Then pick up your feet
And push your body
Until your heart breaks.

Or do you want to go home?
You will get your wish
Only when you make your home
In hell itself.

Then no man can take anything from you
And your peace will be everlasting.
