Bound By Chains.....

Bound by chains…… Bound by chains then, Chains bind us now, It has taken away from our life style, And the means to know how, Bound by chains, You have locked away our fathers, Stolen the bodies of my people’s women, Yet still to take it further, Bound by chains, Our kids continue to drop out of school, Have my people killing one another, That is not cool, Bound by chains, What is old let die? Chains bound us then, Today only in our minds, Bound by chains, I say no not “I”, Thanks to those who paid the price, Today I let loose of those chains, That had my life and mind bound, Throughout writing this poem something better was found, Freedom.
