I Call It Life


Chains bonding my footprints in Hawian sands Bombed and Burned dreams of colors united harmoniously Computer Classroom size Chambers filled with gas I imagine what a life If to abolish wasn't key Consistent retention From 1537 To present times As we meet Yesterday I felt locked done Your empathy set me free Now if we can only pass a law Find the biggest stone Engrave in it to read: We are here for the land Not the land for them you and me Abolishment How could I forget Without I will forever remember The fire blazing pyramid Corporate structure Economic progression Promotions 401k healthcare Registered to vote And now living is fair Oh contrary The insect raid Is for us to never see Abolish a systematic programming Of my mind and release my body If slavery didn't exist Neither would abolishment Neither would our nations chain of command When theres things I can not understand I call it life!
