Give


Give that I will Give that I must They let me walk They let me run But I'm forced to crawl while they have fun They take my keep They make me weak They give demands I don't comprehend I am not theirs But they produce me? They are not charming But they seduce me? I don't comprehend I am not puny I am not dumb I am not senseless But this war is already won I am their thoughts They took my choice But if I kiss their shoes Will they give me my voice? I am not savage I am not greedy I only ask for equal identity Now, Take a look Here I am Out of the shadows and terribly bland, To their eyes I am petty But I get their jobs done To their eyes I am nothing But the face of a middleman.
