My Hook - A Poem by Moe (unpublished oldie)

"let loose, from the noose"

you think you see a hook in me

stuck in by their design

but you don't know I made the choice

to ride a hook that's mine

don't say a word but when time comes

I'm jumping off this hell

cause I can hear the whispered mums

of them that built my cell

they'd throw me in and lock the door

to showcase what they own

but they don't see my chess made floor

I've layed to take me home

if they be true I'll gladly stay

and swing up on my hook

but if I see me used some way

I'll walk without one look

for all I have I freely give

to them that show great worth

and show myself availed to live

beside them on this earth

but silly minds are proved at last

that think me just the same

so jumping off the hook I cast

I spit upon that game

~Apollo
