Freedom

Always under attack, Always being beat, Never getting a chance to Breath. You don't understand why It seems that there's so many People against you. No where is Safe. Walk the streets alone, Hide in the shadows and Hope to God that they won't find You. Their cruelty has lasted for Years. You can't count the scars that decorate Your back. Can't count the times they abused You. They follow you when you walk home, They watch you as you try to get work, They laugh as you struggle to live the American Dream. Freedom was granted to you They granted freedom from being Their slaves, but how free is the Hell you live In? Let me ask you something, Are you free when you constantly have to Look over your shoulder in hopes they aren't There. There's a cross burning in your yard, Their chanting as they gather around it. A body is swinging slowly back and forth on a Noose. Close your eyes and pray. Pray that God will be more forgiving. Close your eyes so you can't see their Faces. Don't scream, it'll do nothing. They'll only laugh at pain. When you're dead, the police won't do Anything.
