Freeslave



No chains, whips,cuts or scars
No bruises,lashes just flashes of
Mental oppression
I refuse to change because change
Is a recipe of discipline and patience
Excuse me, somebody stole my cookbook
The communism eye envies freedom
It wants to arrest it for life
I'm a prisoner of a political paradox
Trapped in a brain war
Amnesty against confinement
No light houses to guide me
Dismal depression feeds my soul
My body remains justified
Sojourner's truth opened freedom's eye
millenium babies are victims to society's mind
Retrain don't entertain carnal thoughts
I'm free but a slave to an oppressive
attitude
