Fortitude

I see versions of prosperity.

They pass my eyes.

Flashes of freedom

In disguise

 

My thoughts become liquid

Like a watery gloom

 

Filling it up

Pouring into the room

 

Then sweeping me away

Like a used broom.

 

I see versions of prosperity pass my eyes.

Flashes of freedom

In disguise

 

Stolen villages

And labored hands

Forgive my feet.

They walk the conquered lands.
