Freedom's Hunger

Let me suffer in my self Governing
And run the risk of all sorts of hunger
For slavery in all its adorning
Feeds but to keep it's captives the meager

Slavery as in prison, are the fed
Little comfort given for their sleeping
Give me freedom, every part, its dread
Let me worry for my own safe keeping 

The fixed and the controlled, so shall they be
That simple life with the choices shiftless
Makes mock for any grip their hold on me
Give me freedom, horizons limitless

Doors  occupied, can no longer be free
Attention taken, loses liberty
Hungry is but the price for those who flee
Not withstanding all life's hostility

Yes, there is great need, with amiss in me
No two days alike with being hungry
Rest assured, self governing, makes me be
Most satisfied in my being this free

Let me set sail with this my desire
Letting the juices flow from that unknown
My will is the power now on hire
And this Now, shall ever be mine alone

Suffering from self governing is plight
Chains in those possibilities awry
What a man has is wrought though that he might
To satisfy  hunger, or die in try

Hey Mr. Jones,  This is a very interesting write,  the subject matter is very engaging...........but it's the way you construct your images that I really like........it's strong in it's choices, for vocabulary and structure,....the way you put them together is unusual and it contributes  to the feeling that suffering can be overcome......as though you were overcoming brick, by brick.....if that makes any sense.........I really enjoyed it........well done my friend........tony   xx
