The gallows
Ive been standing at the gallows watching the dead swing. There faces permanently hold the last expression as death took hold of them. The flesh decayed and the crows pick away. They are left to swing away as the ocean breeze blows. To show all the punishment for there crimes. I stand here alone thinking to myself that these people hang for being free, they made a choice to live life by there own rules. There lifes may have been short but at least it was well lived. I belive in the purpose that they died for regaurdless of what society believes. People live daily lifes in a cage, wether it's the cages of society or the cages they make for themselves. The ones I see hanging before me are free and lived free as I must do. I will not settle for a cage made by society or man. I'm living free and moving on, if I end up at the gallows so be it, it's better than a life unlived.
