Lineages

My family roots ain’t long 
how could they ever be 
They cut off bits each day 
we’re now the minority 
Wish they’d leave us alone 
set my kindred free
Back to our glory days
when life meant liberty

Don’t want this microcosm 
stunted growth of misery 
Please let us branch out 
Stop this inequality 
We wish to caress the sky 
regain full gravity 
So much for ethnic groups 
who’d be a bonsai tree


If only my wish would come true
