Wooden Ducks
Wooden Ducks
I am incarcerated in this land of the free,
no trial has been held no charge brought forth,
my chains you cannot see, but are really there,
the only reason you hear me here,
my captors are stupid,
and try to use me as a floating
wooden duck.
About this poem
Wooden Ducks I am incarcerated in this land of the free, no trial has been held no charge brought forth, my chains you cannot see, but are really there, the only reason you hear me here, my captors are stupid, and try to use me as a floating wooden duck.
