The hole the dog climbed was open,
A voice shouted:
Climb out and set you free!
I long for freedom,
But I also know-
How can a person's body crawl out of a dog hole!
I can only hope,
That day-
The underground fire is burning,
Burn this living coffin with me,
I deserve eternal life in fire and blood.
