PELTIER

They have you
right where they wanted you.
They worked hard to ensure
it would have you there,
ensuring that they tipped
the scales of the blindfolded woman
so that their outcome
would be assured, and
for good measure, writing
the fiction they sold as fact
so why, Leonard, do you
imagine after 47 years
they will let you breathe free
hold your grandchildren
after all they did to put you
right where they wanted you
silent and under their control.
