Analysis of On the Border
You are there,
I feel you
You are there,
I sense you
You are there,
Yet I can't see you
I cannot hear you
I cannot help you
Are you human?
Are you hungry?
Are you cold?
Are THEY human?
The ones with power,
so much of it they hold.
To have power over you,
A human just the same,
Just like you.
