Tortured By Freedom
cracking comes the night
through the branches of life
keeping me safe from calm
was the sacrificial lamb
words spoken as if writen in sand
gone as the watter reclaimed the land
should be etched in stone
born from fire dancing alone
the hour struck the clock as the ship came in
ticking over sea deep with sin
overthinkers dine with under drinkers
poets,pirate's and banished tinkers
struggle and stumble down gypsy road
the seeds I have will never be sewed
only poppers and beggers live free from time
or the ones who ignore or mis-read the sign
flattened and burrned before my peers
like the stricken ship that floats on tears
as blind as I am tortured by freedom
as kind as I stand tortured by freedom
