The Race

I may not make my body and me free
They misuse my body
A horse should not run for the race
I do not want my lifetime to be poor
We still may not rest in the warm safety
They oppress my body
A horse should not run for the race
I do not want my lifetime to crumble
We quicken with the agony that we may not lose
We lengthen with the grief that we may not ignore
We deepen with the air that we may not control
The race is so hideous
They are selfishly morbid
My body suffers
I love my body
We should not feel the race
They are selfishly evil
My body trembles
We need the relief
We may not leave the race
