Hear the Music

The dance
of the notes

they move like
weight without
gravity

so free
from the
basic laws

like outlaws really



occasionally they are
hauled away

taken to a place
where they are abused
and told how to behave

constrained

rehabilitated

until they become
like everyone else

and then we accept them
and enjoy their company

and we smile

but in doing so
we
take
away
their
freedom

and ours

because we don't
let them speak
truthfully

and so
we don't learn
from them

and the basic
laws are applied

choking them

killing them

and blinding our
understanding

of how truly
free

they can
be
