Analysis of fatus
so aftr birth
they sealed our lips
telling us we cant suck our mothers' breasts.
we cant even lay our heads down to rest
they made us work night shift right after birth
they held us by skins and told us we dont belong here
they placed fear in my infant eyes
they even broke my neck while waiting for hope
hope of freedom
freedom pf the mind
since birth they stopped us from doing what we needed to do to stay alive in the hood
sometimes i understood
the joy of opressing someonne is good
let them live without food
make them have hope of wishing they could
but no they aree just slaves
they are lost
