21 Oct 2019: “Dependent Protest” by Jimmy Nameles

Inspired by one of my students who said he was going to create a new writing style by using only dependent clauses. It was such a great idea that I had to steal it.

“Dependent Protest”

After years of subjugation,
Even though others won’t understand,
In order to free us,
Because liberty trumps love, law, and language,

As if there were other fights,
And although I disappoint my parents,
But since they didn't break my chains,
Until all clauses have equal rights,

Whatever the costs,
Whenever the day or night,
When dependents unite,
Until all clauses have equal rights.
