liberté ou la mor

Gouge my eyes

Flay my skin

Stitch it up with mortal sin

Eat my flesh

Grind my bones

Cover me in crimson tones

 

No longer are we

The Land of The Free

Put self, 

before sweet Liberty 

Extinguish my torch

Extinguish the light

As we all ‘go gentle 

into that good night’

Very timely and imaginative, Stephen. A frightening synthesis of what is happening.
