CHAINS

by KEITH

These chains cease to hold me down,
Though I am chained by the law.
I glide high above the
weights of the world.
Freedom is a state of mind,
So my freedom is endless
As the earth’s horizon.

My feet have not ever touched
The filth of society’s violence
And complex manners of thinking.
I am superior to you,
You who are ignorant.
So gain wisdom and fly with the birds.
To see my fellow person fly is a joy,
For their happiness is also mine.

I am past the planet, so the world’s weights
I once had on my limbs are now vacant.
Can too much freedom drive a man into insanity?
Stratosphere is my dwelling ground,
But that can’t hold me now

So I suffocate in bliss,
For the death of me is inevitable,
For the sun is near and
She the air denies me.
The earth will not contain my corpse,
For reality cannot confine me.
