I am the Desert <br />The burning spirit <br />Of Revolution. <br />I am Water <br />The flowing river, Rhine <br />The French, free of execution. <br /> <br />The Siberian tundra <br />The struggling Irish <br />Under the rule of the Anglo-Saxons. <br />Give us freedom <br />Or give us Death. I will <br />Not be subjected by the taxes. <br /> <br />The luminescent flash <br />Of the Thunderbird <br />Frees my soul. <br />I walk into the Light <br />Like a diamond <br />While still coal. <br /> <br />This is me <br />Released from this bond. <br />This is your evening, <br />But it is my dawn. <br /> <br />(04/17/2008)<br /><br />Michael Koelliker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/essence-16/
