As the boat outside
pulls into in the harbor
right in view outside
their barred windows
something that looks like a smile
crosses their faces.
They hurry out in a single line,
trying to disguise their joy.
A man named Bill
is stopped for smiling and looking nervous
he is sent back
to the dark of the prison.
The rest hurry onto the boat.
When the boat takes off..
oh how they sigh!
So happy are they!
Sent to a prison...
solitude..
captured while fighting
for their cause.
Now they can leave
go home
to jobs,
family,
and friends.
HOME!
Home to them and everything they care about
because
Free was the way they were supposed to be
