Free me

By atia

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Is that what you told her: It's ok for me to die? Where do you think it will get you? Let me think a bit Did you just call me ruthless? Cos I need to be sure Oh yes of you but too of me Let me open my eyes And watch you prey on my heart Let me breathe in the stench That rises from my starved soul No, I'm not a masochist I just want to know What its like What you call Being free... ..cos that's what you told me..This is dedicated to all those who support the war. It gets to me that we can sit in our comfortable homes and hear lies bellow from the television set while many innocents die.. all in the name of freedom. XCan we even imagine what it feels like to look to the sky for salvation and meet only death.. Written December 20th, 2001 © on Dec 20 2001 06:51 AM PST   18 • 0 • 9
