As Freedom Feigns
by Clara Mae GregoryLady Liberty lost.
At what cost?
We weep in woe-be-gone days
Whilst the winds reign on the plains,
Dwindling on a divided highway
Where it finally wanes,
As Freedom feigns its way to
the divide of outworn wisdom
eluding the false Albatross,
where the purity of truth
became just a lie
whitewashed.
