Freedom



There is no patch of terf
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!

Excellent!

I wonder if the 'high Seas' could also mean any place in nature where one's only defense is wit and skill—a summit, a desert, a jungle, space... wilderness of any sort.

You may be right. Well said.
