Captives...

Captives..


To you the world belongs.
They listen in a language they don't understand
This is their purchase
To which they never bargained

Cast rocks cemented to a choice
To which they never conformed
It's weight grinding them
To a present they did not form

Granted a mantle of the future
Seemingly so long
A past that echos like a broken gong
You are free..
Echoed the preacher from the pulpit
Yet, this they accept for into it they were born..

Wrapped in an embrace of a religion
Each preaching of love,
Each hoping the other be gone
The path to peace they learn
Lives at the end of a gun
For here their lives had begun..

Displaced in a nation
To its hero's they sung
The present is not the future they are taught
As the world sows it's seed of discord
Nurturing it daily in their thoughts..

Captives
To you the world belongs..
