Analysis of Abandon The Shackles



Abolish the strictures
Magnify the name
See the larger pictures
Look outside the frame

Disregard the limits
Establish the signs
Get the freedom permits
Paint outside the lines

Abandon the shackles
Recognize the pox
Let zilch raise the hackles
Live outside the box
