clarify
loose grip
those things you hold so fast
for they are things
just like you
wanting to
be
dizzy free.
If you deny freedom
for one who thinks unlike you
by erasing all reference to before
through cancellation of any future
by obscuring the sky from view
allowing only perpetual cold
separation from light
prohibiting realization of human potential
what right have you to believe
yourself honourable
a leader
one deserving of respect
a worthy messenger of the Divine?
I remember the echo
of footsteps in halls
I remember the rush
of freedom’s call
I remember the bark
of white biting dogs
most of all.
