The Chant Freedom

temple free me
from the sounds of bell and conch
sky free me
from electric bolts
tree free me
from bent and curving branches
palm free me
from fate’s tangled lines
street free me
from footsteps’ heavy fall
love free me
from the need to fuck
river free me
from force and sounds
sound free me
from needless susurration
war free me
from machismo’s claims
peace free me
from necessary sacrifice
whisky free me
from nettled irritation
property free me
from a childless couple’s store of treasure
day free me
from the sun’s hoofed gallop
night free me
from the owl’s eyes
nation free me
from tyrant’s statues
world free me
from the poisoned tipped stakes of your borders
life free me
from always hastening
death free me
from never-ending emptiness
my cherished poem free me
from meaningless letters
hey,
word that goes by the name
freedom
free me from the honesty
and depths of your letters words
and meanings

THE CHANT FREEDOM
