Betrayed

“What have I thus betrayed my libertie?
Can those blacke beames such burning markes engrave
In my free side? or am I borne a slave,
Whose necke becomes such yoke of tyranny?”

and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his thumb
in secret”

No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:
We are betrayed by what is false within.”
