Voice of Power
words that we say
can make someones day
but words misused
can lead to us abused
we fear our oppressors rod
and doubt in the protection of god
we look for those to guide us
someone to rid us of the infectious words that ozz like infectious pus
but we find out that the pain is not permanent
one cut a single injection leaves no mental remnant
consciousness gone in a flash
our funeral seems so rash
we have already paid our toll in blood, sweat, & tears
maybe the river Styx will drown our fears
beaten, battered, bruised, bombarded with hate
slashed, scorned, singed, singled out by friends
our label will always determine our fate
the time of every hourglass eventually ends
tied tied to neck and beam
boom boom falls the chair
i was weak it seems
but life was to unfair
and no one seems to care
