The First Lyrical Slave

The First lyrical Slave  
looking at the palms of my chocolate 
coated dish panned hands  
moving in transit with a blared view 
of days gone by, of life's unsheltered yesterdays 
i turn them back in forth 
looking at the age of them 
with every heavily thought feared
drops a classified tear
wondering in time 
I maybe honestly vindicated
but as for, the negligence of the singing writer 
and there coworkers pitching a 
hideous war on a helpless person's family
so i say 
if you do the crime 
you can do the time 
or don't sing it at all

p.s. famous or not, say no to slavery
