What sense is duty?
Bound to action from another’s word:
By thoughts only freedom thinks so selfly,
My vessel beats and breaks to stir:
for I gave to you, my promise,
My arms act upon the world without thought,
To shatter enemies as frail now as sculpted ice.
My arms act, without doubt, head trapped or caught,
This motion’s end is not of my desire.
You called for my hand therefore,
Your soul should be not without consequence of trial.
Knowing this, why is it my own heart lifting sins commanded by corps.
Freely my oath was gave without pause or rapt.
Freely then trepidatiously now kept.

Above is a sonnet I composed, The top is the final version the bottom is the work in progress.
As a mechanic not a poet. I can take any system apart and but it together anew.
Hope you enjoyed this,
With love,
