So Many
so many bridges
so many trees
so many prisoners
we should set them free
walking up a hill
just to reach the top
they push hard
and they never stop
every bruise,
and every time they use
so many lives
so many to choose
so many chains
i have got to work it out
just to live again
and understand what it’s about
James Garratt – October 2003
