Freedom was a fiction <br />Grecians laid aside <br />An uncharted gemstone <br />Power passes by <br /> <br />Poets thus kill time twice <br />Awake and after death, <br />Cutting heartbeats into lyrics <br />Then pausing to catch their breath. <br /> <br />(by edgardo s. tugade,29 june 09)<br /><br />Edgardo Tugade<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/classic-3/
