What Price Freedom?

      And you shall pay, shall pay, 
         with "the rock, the vulture, and the chain." 
      Oh my fragile immortality! 
         gifted at the price of eternal pain. 
5     Life's secret, and death's mystery, 
         both despise my freedom's synergy; 
      A haughty god despising fathers 
         conceived in a moment's squalor.
