Half A Nickel

I swear Id trade-in my soul just to get out of these shackles

Id ask for much but all I need from you is half a nickel

Liberating thoughts were underway to rid of this ripple

Day in and out scheming to see the light from this stipple

Tipsy to get a healing from this twisted tipple

But where be the so-called rebels?

Abandoned us amidst a spontaneous battle

All we can do is flee every which way as we grabble

Into the unknown with our houses in a piles of rubble

Whilst queasy hearts blooming among the rabbles


I swear Id trade-in my smile just to get out of this cripple

Id ask for much but all I need from you is half a nickel

Even if its an itsy-bitsy taste or a nibble

Of that freedom is enough to heal the people

Filled with uncontrolled emotions as tears on the cheeks trickle

Feeling of loss and panic becoming the daily bread

Stomachs constantly complain as they grumble

Legs weary from fear, and from terror, bones rattle

If this be the doing of the devil, we pray to burst out of the bubble

Call us crazies if this be a mumbo-jumbo grumble.
