I planted a seed on my pillow
then watered it with my eyes
cuddled it with my fingertips
swallowed it like my pride
a game of hide and seek
but no one cares to find me
I did stand behind a wall
I didn’t know it would cave in
now I’m a living ghost
and no one knows
my anchor to reality
is faltering
goodbye now my pillow
the only one who ever listened...
I came to this country
I heard it was the land of the free
The same country
Enslaved, my people came
They fought for our freedom
while chained and whipped
They fought for this country
built and nurtured it
And after everything
All we’ve ever asked for
is equality
Our only revenge is our resiliency
But they fear us
So they kill us
Then call us the thugs?
Try they must, we shall not give u...
