Thief Thy Name Is Human

I met a hand with eyes but no vision He touched me but only to fill his hunger And I with a heart floated with anger I wish I were a human But not of this hand I just asked one day but only within The muscular hand was no less than a muddle head In life it was panting for death And I In death panting for the former He knew he could free me But his knowledge is destined ignorance Alas! His heart pumps only blood, no care. To my one day I croaked to his deaf ears for years But for one day Neither a day is left nor a drop of hope My heart pounced on request And his on the lust to have me I swam in his desire not in his concern To my one day I croak now to the world Enchained in all this ego Is there a hero out to rescue me Oh I know the world is all a dark mirror of life I know this just in one day That my day has come
