As he stood in the doorway Thinking on the cost "I will NOT be controlled" Counted his past life lost She sat huddled in a corner Dark, damp, and cold "If there were a god" Fiddled with...everything...off/odd Down the street, riots erupted With "humans" demanding rights "Release the Kraken" Blunted axes and struck souls with radiant lights ....nothing is free....verse The price!?! What is the freakin' price??? Who determines the unseen law Some red dragon With the blood of creation dripping from his jaw Back at the farm, far from reality Sits a family having dinner All of them saints Clothed in the filth of a sinner NOTHING but naked Enters this world And nothing but humbled will leave Everything within a heart Bought and yielded To LOVE alone will it's core cleave Written by Trudy Schrader on 10/12/2021
