Freedom

Freedom

by Kelp

Slave to the ruler
Slave to the boss
Slave to the parents
Slave to the spouse.

The dog needs to walk
The kids have demands
Can’t ever feel you
Have the upper hand.

Slave to the friends
To the enemies
Slave to the body
Slave to the disease.

Slave to possessions
Hand chained to the Phone
Slave to depression
The interest on the loans.

Wage slave
Caged slave
Blisters on the hand slave
Blood is dripping from the head
You can hardly stand, slave.

Slave to the dollar
Choked by the collar
Taxes and donations
Of one type or another.

Slave to the style
Slave to opinion
Slave to the governing
Force of the dominion.

Slave in your body
Slave in your head
Both undernourished
Both overfed.

Slave to the genome
Slave to the skin
Slave to the chromosome
Before you begin.

Don’t matter what you say
Don’t matter if you cry,
Slave while you live
Slave until you die.

Slave O slave O slave be free!
Liberate yourself, like
He wanted you to be.
Like He wanted you to be.
