A Mind Confined

A Mind Confined

Open heart, feelings, emotion
Sentiment, love, devotion
Magic spell, mysterious potion
Hazardous, beware use, caution

Hands tied, bound at the wrist
Helpless, cannot raise a fist
Mindless, living from your list
Everything, just as you insist

Teacher, can i raise my hand
Leader, can i share my plan
Ruler, can i make a stand
Master, can i be a man

Dizzy, deceived, delirious
Unheard, undermined, unconscious
Controlled, confined, conspicuous
Faraway, faded, furious

Body empty, mind away
Spirit calling, soul astray
Blood spilling, nothing to pay
Death stalking, nothing to say
