Be Free



I see a world of dark,
Where many have already made their mark,
How can men be like sharks?
When our words are like darts,
Words that break the heart,
Words that make a smile hard.

O you who prays!
Repeat that prayer.
O you who lays!
Don’t lose your way.
Their words are fake!
Yet you lose your way.

A lion wastes not a second to martyr a snake,
Yet man does.
We spend much to think,
When we ponder if we’re weak,
Yet when we stop thinking,
We are but livestock to others.

Their ways make them dark to their mothers,
Yet they have been too lost.
I hope you, friend, are not like the others,
O you who has fought.

Leave them be,
Do not let them plant their tree,
You are but a step away to be free,
Is that not what thy hast told me?
Hast I not told you that I believe in we?
Or are you just too blind, to see…
