IT MUST STALL: an etheree-Award winner

** #1048149 Not An Image **


Why
Should I,
When I cry,
Be not caressed?
When I am oppressed,
My feelings are suppressed,
Why, then, I should not revolt?
Why not from my harness I bolt?
How long shall I be harassed by all?
No, one day this slow death of mine must stall.

aaa

The meter is trimeter in line 6, tetrameter in line 8 and iambic pentameter in line 10
