Sonnet LV

Land of brave freedom’s heart doth weep and wail,

As ill will looms and hath slain our brother

Tis shame this wealth so stricken with betrayal,

Where a slave knows not slave from another.

This shamefully misplaced hate hath grown legs,

And the noose once tied to death tis tongue-tied;

So breath cannot enter where sorrow plagues,

For curse clasps tongues that trees of ire hath lied.

In this folly of cavalier agents

Where the brute strength of some befalls many;

A nation pays the price for negligence,

And insult’s hands ne’er disburse a penny

For the way tis rife with tyranny

So, land cries “Help!”; yet there’s isn’t any.
