Emile Pinet Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Independence

Independence sought freedom's key
Nonetheless freedom was not free.
Demanding equal voice and rights
Equality was met with fights.
People paid for it with their lives
Ensuring liberty survives.
Neighbors committed to self-rule
Denounced foreign reign as cruel.
Each tax was a knife to their throat
No subject had the right to vote.
Courage, followed by bravery
Expunged indentured slavery.
