You've lost me! <br />And I've conceded. <br />My efforts to free you, <br />Were without your consent! <br />I now recognize... <br />That key I tossed to you, <br />To release you from your shackles... <br />In a bondage you find sweet. <br />Did not have the approval, <br />Of those who keep you suppressed! <br />I confess... <br />I did not gain their authorization! <br />You've lost me, <br />In comprehending your need <br />To remain enslaved! <br />But I do acknowledge the fact, <br />You are not aware of that! <br />And your addiction is best lived, <br />Oppressed! <br />And I find that no contest, <br />To challenge. <br />You win with my condolences.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
