Liberty's Plea
Let me be
Break these chains
Set me free
Wash out these stains
Let me go
Show me some fate
Death not sow
Tribulation so great
Are you blind?
Can you not see?
Open your mind
This is an emergency
I'm bleeding a letter
For you to admire
I've bled out each letter
Of situation so dire
Take my soul
And see through my eyes
The occasional toll
I take from your lies
You promised me freedom
With a helping hand
But you showed me the wisdom
Of a foolish young man
I will take to the grave
Such sinful a start
The ignominy you gave
Will burn in my heart
Watch in my speech
As transformation occurs
The hatred I'll preach
Writhing in blurs
Commit it to memory
Savor every last breath
Lock me away with a key
That is, if you fear death.
