    "I thought I Could Free You"

    For JBW

    By R.A.G. Seely

    I thought I could free you
    From a life aimless
    Re'lize a rescue
    My faith, fallacious

    I thought I could free you
    From low self-esteem
    Reveal your value
    It was a pipe dream

    I thought I could free you
    From rusticity
    From vapid venues
    My hope, heresy

    I thought I could free you
    From twerps, simpletons
    You mistook my cue
    You were too far gone

    I thought I could free you
    From profanity
    That I'd get you to
    Regain dignity

    I thought I could free you
    From a boor's embrace
    Author a breakthrough
    If only I'd raced

    I thought I could free you
    From cretins cornfed
    Your sense was askew
    My logic, misled

    I thought I could free you
    From spiraling down
    Devoid of virtue
    In trashy hick-towns

    I thought I could free you
    From wretchedness, waste
    My trust was untrue
    My purpose, misplaced

    I thought I could free you
    From barbarism
    You uttered "Adieu"
    And succumbed to scum
