Snared

This is poem #01 from my book "Freedom's Beat"

Our liberation from the fetters
once forced on us by overlords
aroused our hearts to strive towards
a goal announced in golden letters.

The power of our former betters
we sundered with our righteous swords:
the history of the world records
no nobler fight against oppressors.

But now we find ourselves the debtors
to new aggressors, those great hordes
of spiders spinning silken cords
designed to snare us, foolish bettors
beguiled by dreams that vanish soon.

True liberty would be a boon.
