Chained

The innocent are chained The prison doors are locked The guards are watching The entrance is blocked Please bring them Justice Please don't make them pay Please bring them freedom Please don't walk away You say it's not my problem You don't want to be involved You don't have the power You can't break down the walls Turn off the Television Turn off the Radio Turn off the smart phone Turn your heart to GO Go fight for freedom Go take their hands Go to God's children Go do what you can

What a good message, and a good plea for others to wake up and see what's up.

I like engaged poems, moving and motivating. I believe they can break walls, better than anything... Just let them walk around, turn about, linger on like you are doing with your masterpieces. And the magic will work! keep on writing; bye, Richard!:) Hanitra
