“the leather strap the broom the switch
habits before freedom
freedom: the lie which is true
before: kept fed but close to death
the penitentiary the gun the rope
is at hand now that you free
free: kept down with your eyes down
now: night riders patrol in cars
those born again die free
a lie for grateful slaves
grateful: who are better off
lie: who is better off
dig down into the unmarked earth
lay there and be free”
