Worse Than Death


Stealing my dignity in the name of love,

you took back all control

 

The past and future trading in place,

all memory untold

 

Stealing my dignity in the name of love,

child—father to the man

 

Whose power has dwindled and wheels come off,

with freedom all but banned

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2020)
