THE REINS

I can let you free as long as I like

of course with your reins firmly in my hand.

I can let you free as long as I like

with your reins firmly in my hand

and let you wander thru unknown

lands and forests like

a horse roaming through

unknown lands and forests.

I can let you free as long as I like

with your reins firmly in my hand and

I can’t let you pull on like a life-convict

in my prison for an

unlimited period or for ever.

I can’t ever think of letting

you free for ever without

your reins firmly in my hand

since I am certain that

you will turn a Frankenstein Monster

the moment I let you free….
