FREEDOM FOR ALL

Oh please do take me, she begged.

I’ve been sitting here all by myself now

and it’s much too cold.

It was a terrible ordeal, she cried.

I’m not myself anymore but nobody seems to notice 

my terrible state.

I’ve lost everything, she bellowed.

My entire family, my arms and my legs.

They even took my head.

Please just buy me, she pleaded. 

Cook me and consume me. 

Lest I should go to waste 

and my journey made in vain.
