James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

Outback Across the Way

There's something quite evident
I am a product of malcontent
But I haven't  been bought yet
I am out but yet I'm IN
Outback across the way
I AM
Out
Outback across the way
So you say I am paid yet I'm still enslaved
But well behaved haven't been across the tracks
Haven't been released nor relink quest
Nor have I been banquet
Out back across the way
For you throw and hurl sticks and stones
you crush me with intent on to my bones
Yet you have show me love
Of course why must I wear these gloves
Not gonna fight any one
I'm out back on the tracks
Not looking back
Freedoms got me bound
I am fine now

Out back across the way
