♪INKling No15—freedom♪

The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is
freedom from fear.—Aung San Suu Kyi

the body chained doth not the spirit fetter
the muse of pain excels to groom you better
than can the leisure of malaise    
or pleasures of undaunted days
my manumission
compromises
the gains of dark            
imperial crises
take then this clay
for your mean oven
and burnish it
till it is proven
thus liberate me with the smoke
my freedom you cannot revoke
the body sleeps, the spirit climbs
to fashion new-world paradigms
