Everywhere I go the strongman is there with his chains of intimidation
And Ironclad fist with chains to shackle my hands and feet.
The protocol of religion seeks to silence not only my voice but
Drive and stampede the Apostolic Holy Ghost move of God.
The Word is my only defense fueled by time spent in prayer!
I have broken free through from the cages of religion and having
A form of godliness but denying the Power of God.
I have triumphed over the mundane drudgery of ordinary living there
Is a far better life.
My landscape has changed!
Locked doors are opened from the cage of slavery which has held me
Back these many years and through the Power of the
Holy Spirit.
Abba, Father has transformed my feet to leap over the walls and barriers
Which has imprisoned me.
I was buried and left for dead; locked away and forgotten but the
The evil padlocks and altars have been broken down and destroyed.
I have escaped the strongman who kept me chained
With intimidation and verbal insults.
The protocol of rejection cannot penetrate the voice bestowed upon
Me.
I have broken free from the enemy and embrace the Move of God!
Throughout my life I've had great freedom by becoming an atheistic existentialist. Learning from the best philosophy and ethics and taking responsibility for my actions, not controlled or manipulated by any scripture or cultish thinking. I have no chains tying me down or manipulating me. I believe that's what you're trying to write in this poem. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

I read your poem with glee and a penchant for prose.
Your thoughts on paper sound like spoken words, that reminded me of back in 2010 when I used to tape my spoken thoughts before transcribing them into my variety of novels.
Your work caught my interest. Therefore, I wish to collaborate with you in an any way possible.
Enough Said!
Love ya!
