Complex (For Rg)

All my mortgage years This featherless gosling flightless Kept chickens for peers Suffering gravity's wretched pain While dreaming of the southland Coded in my bones Like a chicken I circled The pond of tears, while the lake Brimmed with spectacled Difference of salt ambition O how the memory hibiscus Withering seared my heart! I did not know I did not have to pay For home if I let it go again To the bankers that count day's In piles of cents, I shed The modern chain and fled the shed Of tumbling debt to joy. I shed her savage memory That held like a cyclops Gripped my fledgling history And all the goats there Were too starved to carry whom I am Protege of the risen lamb
