Visions of Liberty

Dare I wake tempestuous dreams of

Stormy skies and trembling walls to

Stumble through the midnight mire,

The wanton waste named Yesterday.

 

Who can chase this clamoring cacophony of

Warning bells?

Who will quell this quivering, this shivering

Of servitude?

 

Once, in youth, a vision stirred

Beneath the willows sheltering arms

Where every heart is filled with hope,

A prophesy of pristine realms.

 

But fate is cruel and Caesar’s rule

Requires a tribute to be paid,

Hard decisions to be made before

The ogre overwhelms.

 

The muddled masses must arise

In fervor and intensity

To keep the dream, the quest alive.

The vision of sweet liberty.
