O Britain
by Míchealín Daugherty


Beyond every horizon lies the night
Deeper and darker than your soul
Calling like tiny ripples across
   the waves,
The tumbling seascape of my mind
Beckon to me, nevermore.

Take not my Pride
Take not my Homeland
    for I will rise like the dawn
And you shall
Kneel down between the twilight of forever,
   until there is no tomorrow
   only now...

My desire for freedom is combustible
   and you are the dragon.
