Illicitly
I stand here
Because nature is against my well being
My freedom isn't free
My jungle is crowded with people just like me
Crying and wailing
Pleading and grieving
Attempts receding
Impugning progress
Lights that we could barely touch
A light that we reached for with such an eagerness
Such a hope to feel slightly significant in such a society
One that claims to be superior
One where nobody's inferior
But here they sit us like animals
Like the animals we truly are
Like the animals we were born to be.
Premeditated homicide
Premeditated death of dreams
I dream of welfare.
I dream of care
I dream to see the day where
I'm envied.
I'm envied because I made it farther then I was born to
I'm envied because in reality 15% of us will step up.
I hear the screaming
I feel the tears
And the despair ranges
In rings
in my ear
I see this little boy
Who's senses have failed him
And his belonging to a mother
That brought him into the world
Taking hard drugs
Because she lacked hugs.
Hugs that her father never gave her
Hugs that she lacked when her stepfather raped her.
Those same hugs that her boyfriend gave made her
She fell in love
History repeats itself like a dirty glove.
And idly I sit
While he beats her
She lives a life one that deceits her
I dream of welfare
Of my well being
When they call my number
I'll run in there screaming
Asking for help
For immediate aid
Asking for somebody to please take me away.
