Fix Me

Beat me til I can’t stand,
Then I can finally kneel as I should.
Brainwash me til I can’t think,
Then I can finally believe as I should.
Abuse me til I can’t feel,
Then I can finally obey as I should.
Isolate me from everyone else,
Then I can finally hate as I should.
Kill me like you did the martyrs,
Judge me as you did the Christ.
Hate me as you did the prophets,
Test me as you did the saints.
Then you will be the one to learn,
How defiant a mind can be.
Then you will be the one to know,
How dangerous it is to be free.
