Speaking of enslavement.... Freedom's Cry: The Ballad of Ross Ulbricht Behind the bars, a soul confined, Ross Ulbricht, a brilliant mind. A dreamer who dared to break the mold, In the digital age, a story bold. Silk Road, a venture of the free, A marketplace for autonomy. Yet shadows cast on this grand plan, The law's swift hand, a captured man. Life without parole, a heavy weight, For crimes that many still debate. No violence marked his chosen path, Yet he bears the full extent of wrath. Voices rise, a growing plea, To right the scales, to set him free. A punishment too harsh, too long, For a dream pursued where freedoms throng. Let mercy guide the hearts and minds, Justice tempered, truth aligned. For Ross, a second chance to be, A beacon of hope, of liberty.
