A poem a week for 2012 - A record of a year in the life of...
(worn with pride)
INDEPENDENCE DAY
Free, free as a berk
I will search for all I’m worth
For a way to control my fate
To put a price on my silver plate
They fought for us, for our thoughts
For what it was that we were taught
To liberate the imprisoned mind
For to give the freedom to be behind
Testing times, testing times
The tyranny of targets
The bustling rags of busy markets
The concept of the end of crime
And in the end it hardly matters
Mammon begets not any freedom from madmen
The promise we will not be saddened
When our callow beliefs are shattered
