Freedom is a word That has its essence within it Slavery is a word That hasn't Freedom within it Here I am Come and get me Or come at me One in the same Perspective Lit by the sea Doused by the sun Not alone, not empty One The biggest number The only number One The moon is nearing full The howl getting closer Coming around Park bench- (Hey! Over here! It's Me!) The moon rising with the sky Sky of stars Shooting car Far far far away Strawberry lemonade Water's free Lemon's too Sugar'll cost ya Where ya going? (Home! Only made a quarter! One measly quarter!) It's not about how much It's about the joy of lemonade No joy unless you give it away Freedom Still, sugar is costly (Not as costly as sorrow or pride or hate or tomorrow.)

Why did you forsake me? (Because you left us there!) Why did you forsake me? (Because you left us there!) Why did you forsake- (Because you left us-) Why did you- (Because you left-) Why did- (Because you-) Why- (Because-) ---Again--- Why did you forsake me?

The carriage pulls up Before the noise It stirs the dust Over bare feet Moves the forest to shimmer The light's tallness Lording over Holding its gaze to the brush Leave it be Says the weaver of need Will you be true as fate bleeds Will you unwind the clocks Dismantle their ticktock's Strike the drum, Pray the sun Return to me The loving sea I return my waves to you I return the water Says the sea I set it free Rolling in false promises The scepter shines like ivory The fire's risen Not before the water Or before Me We will douse its flames Fire for fire Says the sea and Me We'll set it free The carriage pulls up Before the noise It stirs the dust Over bare feet © 2016 Mark Richard Prime
