Analysis of Worse Than Death
Stealing my dignity in the name of love,
you took back all control
The past and future trading in place,
all memory untold
Stealing my dignity in the name of love,
child—father to the man
Whose power has dwindled and wheels come off,
with freedom all but banned
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2020)
