Sublime


​Without dissolution 

What is freedom? 

The will to live

The struggle to survive 

The night breaks 

The sun shines 

The tiger lurks 

While its prey hides 

A son born 

While its mother dies

A world seen in silhouette 

Through sulken eyes 

Freedom is the grey line 

That intersects life 

And lifelessness apart 

An indescribable indulgence

Backed by endless cries
