Chained Poet
By: Maketa Robinson
(Black Minerva)


Unlock these shackles from my tortured soul
How can I learn & grow if I’m constantly doing what I’m told
Unlock me
Unlock me
Unlock me
I will not stand here and let you yank on the invisible chain
I will fight you until you bury me in an unknown grave in the rain
Free me
Free me
Free me
Laughter floats all around as I get beat with the devils walking stick
While I’m down I hear society's cocking the gun with a flick
Die nigger
Die nigger
Die nigger
My whole existence is pure hell on earth
I need to take my time and work on my spiritual birth
Queen Sheba
Queen Sheba
Queen Sheba
Darkness swirls behind my third eye, showing me what my future could be
Until I break the ball and chain, I’ll never be free.
