Goodbye Friend - Hello Freedom

I knocked on your door

you welcomed me in

Encouraged me to be a part

of the activities within

 

Suggestions were met with joy and horror

Young ones enthused

heard the money rolling in

Old ones, bemused

couldn't stand the din

 

It never could be a battle to win

you made false promises

we felt swindled

your walls were beginning to bleed

 

I want to do more

but now I have to leave before I get sore

Goodbye old friend - Hello freedom!

I see this as a meeting up with an old friend who has become completley materialistic and lost their soul in the process. So nice to have your clear presence back here! xx

Before you get sore? Oh aye?!

I like lots of this - this line especially 'your walls were beginning to bleed'. I don't know what it's alluding to, but I like the implicit danger of it.

I decided to have a bash at the freedom theme. Comments welcome :-)
