Freedom, defiance, self- reliance
Defines him
Submission, obedience, dependence
Is her creed
Opposites they are
Different camps they set
One rebels, one obeys
"You slave, you retched dog!" he exclaims
"You will will only obey? Say yes even when you don't want to?"
She retorts in anger "Why most you rebel? Can't you see that you only prolong your suffering? Isn't it better to enjoy what is given to you for your labour?"
"I rather suffer for my freedom than enjoy the sweet lie of slavery!" He shouts "I can't stand chains and wips or give my fate over to indifferent masters! You think they care for our fate!? You think they contemplate our part in this gift called life!? I won't wait for a saviour I'll be my own!"
Different camps they set
One rebels, One obeys
But both want the same thing
To be free
To live
To love
