FREEDOM WAYS

Yond to be free
Yet Freedom ultimately delayed
I want to run away, but have been beaten with every try
I just weep
I can’t even sleep
All I can do is just dream of freedom
But my eyes on the Heaven’s with aiming for the kingdom
We will be shown the way
The Slave owner doesn’t want us the people to go astray
As long as there is breath in this body, a freedom slave one day
Just you wait and see
Beaten and whips will be no more
A new day will be a slave’s new explore
No more will I have to worry about struggles being ignored
My footsteps being how long a slave
All the Master wants is a slave to just behave
The Moon looks pretty tonight
I see strength giving me might
I will make a plan for my escape
After all, a slave is considered like a moving ape
Freedom means being determined to be free
It’s the outlook of Freedom being a one day
A plantation loss is a slave’s gain
No more ******* that will ever remain
I have been a slave all my life
My thoughts and speech being my only advice
God watches and my prayers reaching Heaven
My Soul bleeds, but I am determined to proceed
This Slave has a story to tell, and comes from the crystal waters from a well
A slave only knows, but it’s the true testimony that shows.
