Ben Due Iyav: Prisons
Prisons
©2011 Ben Due Iyav
We are here Living in prisons Never mind Us, our walking the streets As if we are free
We are here Living in prisons Our mouths are sealed We don’t speak We only bow
We are here Living in prisons Our hands are tied We don’t work We only gesture
We are here Living in prisons Our legs are in chains We don’t walk We only trek
We are here Living in prisons Our hearts are pierced We don’t live We only pretend
We are here Living in prisons Our minds are death We don’t reason
We only survive on treasons Here in these prisons
