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.
