Serendipitous Freedom

Of your praxes I am all too familiar
The way you slither in and out of my life
In a semilunar fashion leaving huge halves behind
You do nothing as I writhe in pain and strife

The spawn of the Zeitgeist? The 'spirit of the age'?
Please help me to understand your wicked and mantic ways!

I am Mexico!
You are contraband!
I will not be there
To take your hand

The struggle is finished
Finally it is done!
Just enough for a lick and a promise
Is an offering for some other someone

Freedom, sweet freedom!
No more self-degredation!
I am taking myself back!
I am my own nation!

I sample the sweet yet savory halva
The flavors spread slowly over my tongue
Ah yes, it is sultry, it is sapid
I am instantly born-again, beautiful and young

In preparation for Ataraxia
I will let peace find me
I succumb to serendipity
I am free, I am free, I am free!
