A Long Time Ago

[complexity]

"Are you trepidacious of the days ahead?"

"No." He remarked with a blistering retort

The sound so sharp it could raise the dead.

"How can you dread the inevitable" he said.

I was surprised by the sweet taste of courage

My mouth was dry;for I had been malnourished

Don't get me wrong, I went to war; that's the truth

We were forced to; freedom was in our pursuit

it was 1860; states were on the brink of secession

because Abraham Lincoln had won the presidential election

I respected my master, he taught me to read and write

even let me glance the NY TIMES, late at night

for if I take a chance and leave him, I might die

I postulated who I should be doing right by

my brothers in arms, or the master who hits me

who seems to get physical, mainly after his whiskey

his eccentricity, tortured his wife like an execution

if you looked into her eyes, you could see retribution

she was a modest lady; behaved and didn't act crazy

though once she struck him, but hadn't hit him back lately

she was beating for weeks straight for that mistake

it fascinated me how his hands didn't assassinate

with all the practice, all the smacks and hits

he would crack his fists and not one blow was passionless

in his absentness, he wasn't practicing abstinence

who is? it's tautological, relationships are based on attraction

Satan horns are like breasts, waitin for ur devilish satisfaction

a distraction from God, premarital sex doesn't belong in your soul

now a days; adultery is common like colds

what can i expect in the days of darwinism, people are ill-advised

I know; I'm still alive for a reason and I have no will to die

I don't come from a chimp, I denounce blasphemy against him

there has been disbelievers ever since Jesus's ascension

beliefs in suspension, to be honest, I can't stand it

dammit! if everyone would follow the 10 commandments

"Where are the soldiers, with fright I asked"

He replied. "Right, behind you". /-slash-/

"And You" I claimed, His neck was sliced off, blood drained fast

I expected myself to get the same gash

The Soldier yelled "Get Up!" I immediately leaped

He ran the sword across my neck, and said "you've been released"

"If I hear from you again, you'll be six feet deceased"

I was shocked at these developments, but ran to the east

at least twenty miles in the heat, I couldn't stand on my feet

when a man screamed at me, come here, and what do i see

a pathway to freedom, I knew, I was free

Thanks. I didn't like my recent feedback, so I stepped it up.

I'll be sure to leave some feedback on your drops and others tomorrow.
