Homework 1/11/21 'The Deprivation of the Human Spirit'
Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2021 6:27 pm
A real rushed one again
The Deprivation of the Human Soul
Would he ever know true freedom now, and would he find again his pride?
these and other thoughts are swirling like a ship that’s drifting on the tide.
Well, the virtue then of innocence there, hadn’t helped him he could tell,
for the word here of the Gentry was enough to banish him to hell.
As he listened to the wind now screaming through the rigging in the storm,
with the wildest seas assaulting this old ship as each new wave would form.
But at least now if they foundered it may bring a merciful relief,
death could be gift from God, to free them from ten years of penal grief.
And this ship had only ever carried loads of human misery,
just how many lost their lives is hidden in the fog of history.
For their worthy lords and masters back in England cared then not a jot
as their only wish was hopefully to see the last of each new lot.
