...curse my name, be it thy will,
for wasting my time.
There is little hope in the word 'Freedom'
and NOTHING else

                                                    ...Toffears

...that from the rain
upon which my country has fallen,
I roam,
free from all nationhood,
but the same

                                          ...Toffears

...forgive your name
from that of which you were born...

How such a landscape
be ruined by those who made history.

How such a beauty become scarred
and yet, not forgotten

                                               ...Toffears

"...when is the last time you felt free?"
                        asked the warden to the prisionner.

...yesterday,
when I wrote it

                                                                       ...Toffears

...have we ever escaped the Past

and won?

                                        ...Toffears

...one man's thoughts
are always wrong
when all Hopes face
the Trials of Disbelief

                    ...Toffears

...an illusion
once created by the Soul
in hunger for theatre and gold...
Eternal for one night only

                                    ...Toffears

...under the same Moon,
under the same Sky,
we allow ourselves
to Say and be-LIE-ve:

In our Dreams,
we are Free

                         ...Toffears

...I conceived myself
on a Full Moon Night,
between the Summits
of the Alpine peeks
and
the Lakes of Reflected Light

...the Bell struck ONE

                                 ...Toffears
