    Poem Commentary

    NOW this poem brings out the "Edgar Allen Peo" in me. I think he would be... well uncaring but hey its worth a shot to impress.

    The Birds

     I hear those birds singing...
    All those damn happy birds
    Free to go where they want...
    Free to do as they please

    How I envy you
    My freedom ended long ago
    Freedom, it shines through the bars
    Through the window

    Freedom, i hear it in my ears
    feel it pass my hair
    Freedom, as black as my heart
    As cold as night and dark

    Freedom comes with a hard white hand
    Shackling my body, tieing me
    Freedom comes on a cloudy afternoon
    Freedom comes all too soon

    Freedom, from the world of pain
    Freedom, from a life in hell
    Freedom, from my own sorrow
    Freedom, from a rope, and one drop

    Freedom as he pulls the lever
    Freedom as the crowd gasps
    Freedom as the rope tightens
    Freedom, as the birds fly away.

    spelling is my worst nightmare... -fixing-

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
