Jailed
in my mouth, my tongue isjailedjailedjailedjailed
how to compete with lies and vain speech?
in my head, my brain is
jailedjailedjailedjailed
too many shallow minds to teach
in my chest, my heart is
jailedjailedjailedjailed
too many black hearts to bleach
in my face, my worth is
jailedjailedjailedjailed
all other talents ‘him’ impeach
the ‘golden’ cage? my life is
jailedjailedjailedjailed
kids, kitchen & bed, the rest out of reach!
in my body, my soul is
jailedjailedjailedjailed
needs to break free and my bones breach
in/on earth, my body is
jailedjailedjailedjailed
for F R E E D O M
how long shall i screech?
