Slave girl unchained yesterday
sings an unchained melody
Freedom tastes so honey sweet
Dancers rock a drumming beat
She is breathing freedoms air
Free from sorrow
Free from care
Perhaps for her, to be eternally chained in a dungeon would be better.
She would know her place, and need not question her future.
As his kajira, the object of his dreams she would be.
1865...a year of freedom
Free at last! Free at last!
I have a dream to be free
From these cold chains of brass.
Colored in bondage
Bounded by ivory ignorance.
Fighting for freedom is a crime
Working 9 to 5 on minimum wage, until old age.
It's not about the money, honey.
You don't fell brave, just like a slave, but you gave until you entered a maze.
Confused and abused, you refuse to blow a fuse.
Monkey see monkey do,
Monkey's gonna murder you.
Monkey knows the way you sneak,
Sees the company you keep.
With a collar around her throat,
Monkey's gonna make you choke.
Monkey see monkey do,
The last of the warriors in me died today.
They put up a good fight
against fear, hate, and depression.
But they threw their hands up in defeat today
and the captain hung himself.
I stock shelves at a grocery market for money.
It's what I do.
Not who I am.
But I saw some flowers sketched onto a can.
It was a vine of flowers.
Coiled around the "S" on the words "Green beans"
Home of the Brave?
More like home of the slave.
Slave to social media.
Slave to materials.
Slave to a glued to the wall redia.
When will we go back to where things were physical
Hello
So nice to meet you
Before we begin, please allow me to introduce myself
My name is Heroin
Some people call me H
But I go by many names
Doesn't matter what you call me
A 16 year old girl, innocently dancing to the music of love
BLANK
She awakes to feel her body ache
You took all my children from me
and you whipped me.
Your eyes filled with excitement, as I suffered.
You shot my son and your wife's true lover.
"A fall from heights
A stray dog bite's
A single light
A slave girl's right's
None of these matter
If there's no happy ever after
But these thing we are
And these things we were
Whips. They’re flames of hatred about his body; cutting deep into the flesh and making him bleed.
Smoking Cigs while listening to post-punk.
What a way to die.
Sipping poisonous punch, staring at neon stars,
observing couples symblozing the synths
Did I accept or reject the lie
Honeslty I am not sure
Have you ever woke up and felt like you were dreaming? Like you couldn't get up? You were stuck?
We are trapped,
We are lost,
We need to get out,
But we do not know where we are,
We are slaves to the rich,
Lets get on the piss,
Lets charge the gates of gold,
Lets break te chains,
Sneakers, gym shoes, my father call them gymmies. Nikes, Jordans, Jays ; I love them
Its funny;
Ask me who I am.
Ask me of my story
Pretend you care about my life
But ignore the scars on my body
I am but a shadow in the field
Haunted by those bloody whips I fear
Harsh Whip
Painful Obedience
Rewarded Pleasure
Consequences Incognizant
Joy Abound
Futile Resistance
Lost Control
Scarring Realization
Reality Altered
Desires Overwhelming
Steel ropes attached to my limbs
And twisted all ‘round me
forced stagnant
and Incommunicado by your hand
I arrived out of the dark night
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin' for my life,
I saw left
I saw right
I forgot what was right
Then I decided to go left
Going left was going deaf
How can it be
Someone like me
So happy and free
But don’t leave me be
Alone at last
Here comes the past
All that’s suppressed
Makes me depressed
Each key crafted from ivory
Each separate, yet together they call for the touch of my finger
Each note, all play a different part in making that sweet sound
The keys ripple with each tap like a wave
This shadow covers me
It's so dark
They walk about
I can't give up
I'm deep in pain
Screaming for help
They are looking
They don't care
I am an animal
I AM their joy
But I need help
If I could see over this farmed hills,
I wouldn't have to be afraid of life's thrills.
I am here for you brother-man
Here to lend a simple hand.
