Analysis of Dreaming Of Freedom(A poem of a slave wanting slavery to end.)
My eyes open to the dawning of the sun,
My body shuts off like the passing of the sun;
My back ackes of pain, I cry inhumanily...
To be treated better, To be treated eqaully;
To be happy as a human being, to end this pain,
To be one with the happy side of my soul,
I dream of freedom, escaping this hellhole;
I dream of being a white dove, god's messanger,
I dream of flying into the sunshine & dreaming of freedom.
