Oppression
An innocent hand, besides its normal
Duty to touch and, duty to hold
Duty to pinch and land, blows and brutal
Oppression
An innocent lip, besides duty to disguise
Duty to enclose and, duty to house teeth
Duty to rub paints, lick each other’s maws
Oppression
A free given straw, soda to suck from decanters
Duty to accompany, the twin orange sacs
Duty to toil and rub, like real beggars
Oppression
God-given head, beautiful feathers to hold
Duty to host brains, to think make choices
Duty to reason poorl’, the same brain to scold
Oppression
