"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
