ONCE UPON A TAMED


Once upon a time a tamed was born free
the tamed roamed in his home so free
the tamed enjoyed every moment and soon he was considered too free,
too free, to be born, too free to be strong, too free to be living, too free to exist, too free to be alive, just too free to be free. 
 
The tamed was fought against, the tamed had no defense or prevents
the tamed was won over, and was de-coloured till he had no lover.
the tamed was priceless but was still sold in shekels, the tamed was valueless but was battered for in valuables

The tamed became a traveller who journeyed many oceans, landed on many land, yet he lived landless
the tamed love's the fish, the tamed is now the feed for the sea.

Oh tamed, who was born free
who was made to journey journey's
a master fisherman, a master hunter
a master farmer, a master without education, a master serving masters from his hollow cage. 
This are the words of your tamed freed.
