the liberator

the world is not supposed to be a cage
your task is always open clear and plain
and still it has to be renewed again

it is no use to shout or weep or rage
this is no simple easily cleansed stain
the world is not supposed to be a cage

our task to write upon the ivory page
in words that both record and heal the pain
the message of this kind and soothing rain
the world is not supposed to be a cage
