“the leather strap the broom the switch
habits before freedom
freedom: the lie which is true
before: kept fed but close to death
the penitentiary the gun the rope
is at hand now that you free
free: kept down with your eyes down
now: night riders patrol in cars
those born again die free
a lie for grateful slaves
grateful: who are better off
lie: who is better off
dig down into the unmarked earth
lay there and be free”

And it is Libra season.

This hand here is falling.And look at the other one. It's in them all.And yet there is Someone, whose handsinfinitely calm, holding up all this falling.”
