Emancipation

Red is the sky
hot summer night
too young to die
himself  he can't fight .

Desperation
a feeling of all alone
in the mental undergrowth
the thorns they pulled him down .

Self castigation
hell no hesitation
the thrashing seas
they took his medication .

Carried through  the streams
ran his blood , self condemnation
I never heard his screams and I should
emancipation .
