We Are Never Free

We are never free, We are slaves, slaves with free will But free will is too an illusion An illusion of us as a nation, An illusion that shows justice raining supreme But supreme, is the devil with his lies And nothing but lies, that lie with the truth of all deception “AWAKEN, FILTER OUT THE LAUGHTER’S IN THE SCREAMS” shouts the child We are but stems planted, In the soil of their commands. They water us with thoughts, That continues to divide us ”OUR MINDS IS NOT OF OUR OWN” shouts the child It is of men with power, It is of woman with power, And of the shadows that strings their lips, And governs the words they say, Words that they say us, To reassure us US the slaves with “free will”. “WE WORK AND WORK, AND WORK BUT THE DEPT IS NOT OUR OWN” shouts the child A dept which never ceases to grow, And grow like the greed that grows in US.
