i should like to buy my freedom how much? speak up speak up "when you speak for yourself you have bought what others could not acquire through money" what's the price of my choice being of my own design what's the price of wisdom coupled with eternal youth "will you leave what you love? turn a blind eye to all others suffering? pledge yourself to poverty, chastity, and a life comprised of being alone?" what's the price of revolution when my liberty's at stake? freedom of (and from) religion the capricious ways of a child without the treachery "will you dispell the myth of loyalty? will you kill as indiscriminantly as god? an epicurean lifestyle to resign yourself to, yet never truly find pleasure." freedom is without passion and captivity without inspiration a prison cell of comfort or the bleak reassurance of a desert-life alone i wish to give away my freedom one washed with the blood of others one perfumed by my tears of agony yet worth nothing to me if i do unsuccessfully pursue it ------------------ "Come night, come darkness, for you cannot come too soon or stay too long in such a place as this."
