 Define liberty
 But a short-lived reprieve until it's once again displaced?
 Grievances cease?
 To hang on tenterhooks until, to hang on tenterhooks until...
 It's once again displaced?
 
 It's once again displaced?
 It failed to depose
 It stalled at the coming to blows
 It failed to explode
 Explode, explode

 Celebratory in the debris
 Deceptive empirical collapse

 It failed to atone
 It failed to explode

 It failed to disown

 It failed to explode
 Outside watchers beat their brows
 Nurturing vested interests

 When there's always a hole to fill?
 It failed to explode
