freedom

to heal thyself

to deny the power of corruption

to speak the truth

to be amazing

inside and out

to bring everybody too

because there aren't any outcasts here

freedom

to persist

to refuse to be quiet

or to respond with silence

to out what they tried

to note what a pollution of

wretchedness that plant grew into

as the years flow by

if you wonder why you should

have mercy

freedom

to make sure the pissant effort is known

for the shit that it is

freedom

to refuse the damaged version

to be an imminent threat

in the guilty memories

of the ones who thought they'd got away

with attempted soul murder

attempted

remember all of it ad infinitum

from the looks of things

it's worth a try

where there's really nothing else

that's big enough to win

freedom
