The Man Suffers

Post-term pregnancy perturb my health, For to put to bed, in this place, is sacrilege. The king has made ready his swords For the neck of him, who dare to birth. Known truth is a pregnancy, seeking escape Into the world of obscurity. Truth like the light detained under bushel Is seeking manifestation, to make man free From the yoke of the cruel slave lords. The man suffers, that hoards the truth.
