Solid, cold, sparking in bright sunlight
Forging, moulding, shaping the steel
Hammering sweat with strength into objects
bought by farmers, warriors, thieves
Linked by chains that hold them together
for crimes they did not commit
With a strike of the axe honed on the anvil
They’re prised apart and free
