Who Needs Them

They taunt & torment us now they try to control us tell me ,who in a free nation needs controlling . PROTECTION ? ,who needs it anyway , when the oppressors run & drive this system . Oh!,ENTICED they do listen to our lamentations, The haunting cries of all those DYING in the hateful grip of their system . What audacious crook, spreading words of equality in a world infatuated by inequality & part of society ,the previledged slaves who understand the system ,yet passionately lift up their arms in a song of war declaring superior . Now help me understand ! help me understand what freedom is , when living is a sentence . when the chains of poverty & those of our own responsibilities anchor us devotionally to monumental statues belonging to our oppressors . I've been to so many places ,seen too many faces . All silently protesting ,let me arise ,rise up & work . Awake though it hurts so much to live . My shame is excepting it . Though i arise to immidiate reminders of our struggles refusing my wounds to heal ,i know................ we must survive .........
