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.
