The Marquis de Sade's health declined severely, but he remained perverse as ever, decorating his dungeon with a story, using feces as ink due to the denial of paper and quill.

Breathe Mutiny Shackle my hands so I cannot write. My words will still put up a fight. If ideas offend you, close the book. If you seek the truth take a closer look. Try all you can to put me down. You will end up looking like the clown. My verse is the voice and ear to my pain, metaphors and similes in haunting refrain. Lock me out the race. Shame and denigrate me. My thoughts will still breathe mutiny. 3/30/17

A powerful testament to creative freedom of expression this poem be, Janis. Tho I agree in no way, shape or form w/de Sade's twisted S&M sexual predilections ... he should be free to express them, no matter how offensive they are. Great poem, stunning last line: breathe mutiny. Sign me up on your ship, matey, lol! Love and peace.

Oh! Is this based on a true story or fiction, Janis? Sounds real to me, great take on the theme:)

The movie Quills is based on a true story about the French governments attempt to control the sexually explicit writings of the Marquis de Sade. He is denied paper and pen so this is the result. We never know how far a writer will go to write.
