Cries for Freedom
Creaky silence
Wrenching cold
SHUSHHH!
Prevailing hunger
Running thirst
SHUSHHH!
Crying Out
A midnight shout
SHUSHHH!
lonely
boney
but not a phony
SHUSHHH!
Tied and trialed
Guilty
SHUSHHH!
Pleaded
Begged
No evidence was shed
just found dead
SHUSHHH!
lost
distraught
GET OUT
SHUSHHH!
Sleepy
Weeping
Is this all a memory?
SHUSHHH!
White light
Its too bright
SHUSHHH!
HELP!
Can you hear me?
SHUSHHH!
Must I scream,
For you to see me?
SHUSHHH!
Hot as night
Cold as day
Where's my rights?
beguiled
betrayed
SHUSHHH!
Chocked
Gagged
shunned
left to rot
in this bewildered drought
SHUSHHH!
is it day
is it night
I need my rights
SHUSHHH!
Silenced again
Bloody hands
SHUSHHH!
I'm innocent
found guilty
SHUSHHH!
dark sunrise
light sunset
Who's the law
Are you my rights?
SHUSHHH!
Suppressed
Stressed
I need you
SHUSHHH!
Freedom where are you?!
Can you hear me...
SHUSHHH!
Silence
Freedom is dead
Left bleeding memories of past extremities.
