Slave
I came into this world bare backed!
I will leave this world bare backed!
I am a slave,
living in a delusion of freedom.
I spent childhood in preparation
to wear a noose around my neck.
It tightens and loosens
with the days of the month.
I am drowning from pay check
to pay check.
The roof over my head,
my wheels of travel,
the clothes on my back
(I have no bragging rights).
I forge ahead from 9 to 5.
I am a mule for my masters.
I came into this world bare backed.
I will leave this world bare backed
Death will free me from this noose.
