   “Freedom

   Isn’t something you get

   To redeem mind and soul

   You battle your demons”

   I couldn’t agree more with that statement… I pray you have over come those demons.

   Cheers!

   Absolution or protection for transgressions past, in this instance, near impossible. To paraphrase Lady Macbeth, What’s done is done– can’t be undone. Slavery, human flaw, unforgiveable. The message in your poem is well taken by this follower…

      I agree with Lady Macbeth’s vision. The question remains however, how to deal with the sometimes devastating personal consequences long after the transgressions. Thanks for commenting so profoundly. 🙂

   …and you are gradually beating those demons back. Well done, here, Ken.

   “Hill by hill…” This is so very moving. Moves across the page moves into my mind, my heart.
