The So-Called Free World

The disturbia when

it is referred to as the free world

now and then, when many

would offer life and limb

to a penny

dying to get in

for possibilities out of reach

is but a picture called out

from a sinner\'s dream

 

Let this be known further

to whoever shall listen

in future

that today\'s torrentials

were a wasteland

of heavy laden hearts

wandering in dystopia

among boutique silhouettes

with earpods and umbrellas
