Liberty

'T was not the rope itself,

Nor each single strand

The tightening about the neck

Came by thy own hand

 

Fibers entangled over years

From every loveless source

Such torture altered any thought

That hell could be much worse

 

And so now dies the last of hope

So now dies with it.... care.

A soul can still it's useless own

By the kicking of a chair.
