We are finally free at last
But some are not
For they have entangled
their selves in webs
Spun by poverty, drugs, alcoholism,
And bad choices
in life itself
So many victims to what system?
The system that we have
created for ourselves
By ourselves
Having followed lifestyles of many who
have gone on
Don’t cry for me
I have lived!!!
I have lived!!!
I
have lived my
life to the fullest!!!
But yet not a senior
citizen
We know nothing
We are the new generation
We know nothing
We
claim to have it all figured out
Becuz things have changed for some
And
yet some remain the same
Why does the man wear long sleeves in the hot
summer?
When we say it’s hot!!! It’s hot!!! It’s too dam hot!!!
But he
walks as if it is a cold winter’s day
He has lived many summers before
me
But yet I burn up quicker than him
With my fresh skin
Why does the
old woman say?
“A woman’s work is never done”
But me oh
nooooo!!!!
When I say I’m done
U better not bother me!!!
U see this new
generation
Is slow to start and quick to finish
We are fast to talk and
slow to listen
But the old man
Is wise to cover up
And we are slow to
know
That he is only protecting himself from the sun
As he had done many
years before my time
The old lady never groans and complaints
But uses
her phrases as a joke
But we take the phrases serious
Acting like we know
what she is talking bout
When, actually we have been spared from real
work
Are we so conceited that we can’t see?
The faster we live life
The faster we disappear
The more we take freedom for granted
The
bigger the price is on our head
The sistas and brothers I know wud never take
anything for granted
But then again
I must have been
dreaming
Must have been!!!!
Must have been!!!
But some are not
For they have entangled
their selves in webs
Spun by poverty, drugs, alcoholism,
And bad choices
in life itself
So many victims to what system?
