Sanguine Prisoners
Flying above, dancing below.
But then, from nowhere, a terrible foe Appears to chain us to the earth
And steal from us our joy and mirth.
But resist, my friends; smile on, For it cannot hold us here for long. If we look ahead and see the truth We shall forever keep our youth.
To those who are still chained to the ground Behold us who, though pained, have found The joys of flight, and of the dance. Through all our sorrow, still we prance.
James Burns `15
