The Invisible Chains

I woke to a winter morning cold as stone Afraid of my shadow The invisible chains, heavier than led I realized where it began When men lost humanity In the garden of life They eat the fruit of life Realizing the naked truth Yet the beginning of our differences That multiplied over time And evolved through time Became visible like the color of skin Perception has become the worst deception You, yes you, I remember you You told me I was a waste of semen Yet I was born with a proud face See I am nothing but a seed That carries the sins of a farmer But Now that our difference are broad Life has become too shot You and I are still stuck in traffic Walking to the Promised Land On our way back to reality Shadows and dust It has been the same in the past What you have just read Is a little of what my heart has bleed Drenching the page with my last platelets And die to live another day..
