Day 186: Ruby- Free

My first draft, but will re-write. Thought I'd share anyway.


They say we must become
What they want us to be
But what jury judges
To arrest the fate of our spirits

We come earthbound
When do we lose the god inside us
And how do we find it again

Have we been bound since our birth
Inheriting the heaviness of this law
Cuffed by the wrist
Even when try to reach out and
Grab hold of ourselves

So my people move
Move like you are made of wind
Break free like wings taking flight
Towards the sun
Freedom will find you if you let it
