I who broke your chains your whole existence marred? I never found you strange or an oddity of sorts an aberration to be shunned Or a deformity to abort. I just found you enslaved and offered my love free a road to freedom paved far from slavery. I gave you of my charm of my unequaled peace the peerless of my calm and managed your release But tumults now you talk and bedlam now inspire pandemoniums you wrought were never my desire. How ardently you lie! Compose impassioned songs and use them to deride the place where I belong. Now free and brazen-faced with insolence you speak of the impudence of my race and the heedlessness of my reach And haughtily proclaim And herald near and far That I who broke your chains your whole existence marred.

Thanks for feedback! Yes, you are right--there is strong emotion expressed here. Not that I began the poem with that sentiment, but as it developed, the emotion began to surface as one thought led to another and certain memories began to kick in--my teeth. LOL! Glad you enjoyed. God bless! [This message has been edited by Radrook (10-11-2002 04:45 PM).] |
