Within argument is division
To be calm as the remainder
Is to assert one's rights
The action which asserts
Promotes peace for all
Lifting our language
In a higher calling of liberty
And silencing lady Justice's cries
The contest is in one's mind
Not against the correction by
The self

I was forced to become wise
Not because of injustice
But to defy ignorance
Right is a decision
Not a contest
Sign Your Freedom In Poetic Release

Worrisome oaf
Cradle of milk
Hunted and bitten
Snarl of ice
Whispering dread
Call again through the storm
Deaden the chorus of hatred
Retrieve us from our pouring lusts
We know no other mother sir
Please repeat your prayer
My nose breaks as do my ears in the madness
Deafening anger assaults back
Taste is putrid waters of my own making
I'm hurled in the advance
Grasp my neck and cover my shame
Pour your wisdom before our doors
You, having escaped the rains
