Imprisoned and The Want For Freedom


We Retreat and try so hard to be discreet

Denied Intelligence, we're considered inadequate 

and mistreated with violence

The King of our country promises  he will bring peace

Our School is taken away, we face much ridicule

With Strength we hope and pray...

IMPRISONED     (collaboration)


by~  Jun-jun Villanueva

Urbane cavalcade - flaunt in gaiety
Warbling hymns in ego - cyclicity
Jigging gracile moves in vivacity
Relishing in zest in this gravity
Kinsfolk in flamboyant fete - oh its fate?
Smiles, elation in face delineate
Like nothing's wrong makes me exasperate
No one...

James Bain imprisoned in jail for a crime he did not commit
Proclaiming his innocence that took a long 35 years to acquit
Accused of raping a nine year old boy, when he was just nineteen 
That his young life would be stolen from him was devastatingly...

Sustainer of Life 
Imprisoned within a jail
House made out of bone—
When lying still I hear you
Pounding on your captor’s wall...

Imprisoned 
Im locked away 
Ive been in a cage
most of my days
Wasted away my young age
All for something that 
Made me a slave 
Now im full of rage 
And full of hate
Shame and pitty yea
They know my name
Drove insane
By the dope through
A poke from a...

No one cares? No one adores? it's too late
Recurrent nightmares...

IMPRISONED

Who can see me?
Unless you see deep things
I have been kidnapped by lights
They chained me with gifting
They caned me with favor
They pushed me into grace
Victory moved through my nostrils
I am suffering from success
I have had scars of blessings
They hit my head with wisdom
Knowledge oozed from...

We went to prison a year ago
Many prisoners everywhere I saw
I met a man but I don’t know who
One friend introduced me to him

His case is attempted rape 
In a faraway place he is not safe
Coz’ nobody believed in his story
Language barrier he feels so...

Cold dark and still as death
A place in my soul that I enslave
Thoughts so primitive, raw, and grave

Hold them back, never to see the light of day
For chaos would ensue

Clamoring to escape the bonds I’ve forged
Imprisoned forever in the deep

Hear them whisper in the night...

Before my door I stand waiting
my Babe, my life, my love.
Grating, the key slips through the lock. 
I turn the knob and shove.

Each tear filled moment we’re apart, 
my heart for you yet yearns,
but lonely it stands unopened.
The bolt no longer turns.

This prison that you...

I am a lonely castaway
On an Island in the wind
I'm surfing on a cloud 
A prisoner locked within

I'm locked in a dark gray cell
The key it can't be found
Held captive, I'm imprisoned
In a world that knows no sound

People walk right passed me
Through these walls they...

You poor Imprisoned
Butterfly
Why do you in your
misery lie
Burying your head in
your cocoon to cry
After one hit of ill-luck,
deciding to die
When you to this mad-
ness, can say goodbye
If you just Spread your
Wings to the sky...

His word against the witnesses. The jury must decide.
Whom to believe, the question. They voted he had lied.
Locked up behind steel bars, to be left there for his life,
He lost those he left behind, his children and his wife.

He professed his innocence.  His denials...

Let me not to those who live openly
Bring any barricades. For these four walls
Around the heart of my princess lovely,
I will make crumble! I'll cause them to fall!!
Allow her I will not, to out here lock
Me with my pleas for her permission to
Bring down her...
