Jessica Holter Poet Verse

Those Who Are Free

we are not grateful for truth
it is not in our nature to be free
we need for our lives to be witnessed
we need 
a team
a group 
a clan 
a posse
an audience
a lover
a husband
a wife
children
to prove we were here

And

those who are free
are hated
are envied

those who are free are like wild dogs
who need to learn obedience and submission

those who love the world are sinners
who need to look to heaven
and pray for chains
