Free me from filth, <br />from rock, from silt <br />Free me from sin, <br />from stone and from guilt <br />Looking outward to hills <br />where the house has <br />been built <br /> <br />Give me a star, a moon, <br />and sand. <br /> <br />Free me from pain, <br />from disease, from strain <br />Free me from plague, <br />from age and from game <br />Looking up to the sky <br />where the waxing <br />moon wanes <br /> <br />Give me a pen, a pad, <br />and a brain.<br /><br />Kale Beaudry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedome/
