Dominance

 The Sunday Muse #217



The fire engulfs

The last threads

Of freedom 

To choose

To live

To fight

To survive

Her hopes shredded 

By age-old bias

A towering cross

Hangs on her crown

She has  no right

Over her body

The law controls it

In the lands

Where Liberty

Dies a silent death!
