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.
