+ In- Chained Poem by Jordan Legaspi

In-chained


Wake up each morning feeling the pain my body is ache’n
The past and laborious day life unrest night and day chained
Moving here and there seeking refuge under the same sun
Hungry and thirsty along the way the weary man and woman Counting each time fighting for life the last and only card
For freedom the cause and reason to crack my bone Nothing to own even the soul neither name nor fame to call my own
Chained the predator and prey the authority of cruelty Fancied by daughters and sons blinded from their crown
At my own risk taste the milk and honey and taken away The devise that let grow each monster in their own
Who devour my flesh take my blood half-dead they’ll left me Crawling each day breathing to survive and that’s all I have
Day and night in-chained the prey of my own ignorance Burned all of me for their safety add self dignity
The predator of my own tolerance from dawn of time My world at rest my life at stake in chained by their cruelty
