Hurry hurry to the beating drum
Before the followers doth come
Quickly then to the meeting tree
Running forward to reach for free
Look behind to see blistering rage
Stopping now would mean a cage
Ragged though her body is worn
Almost there to reach the freeborn
The quiet of the sky reforms to blood
Her feet betrayed by the grip of mud
Screams with all the force she has inside
That the free will save her from the mass
Her demise approaches but the free still hide
The followers descended on her crippled form
and the freeborn joined them too
She realized in her final gasps of hope,
Their freedom was her cage.
