Analysis of Set Her Free (Alternative)



She was bruised black and blue
Dying, I surmise
I didn’t have a clue
I looked deep into her eyes
Like stars, there was a flicker of light
But she was weakened and on the drip
But she held my hands, held them tight
Stronger than a warrior’s grip
I wondered who could take her place
There were many others waiting to fill the gap
But no one in the human race
Because they were all greedy and crap
But there is a glimmer of hope
Of a land that is better for all
And so together we shall elope
Destroying this epic wall
I will put them all into jail
Justice: abolishing all the misery
It will be a legendary tale
And we shall be safe, we shall be free
