Sold into slavery, you were
Chin tucked down to your chest
You never raised your head to look about you
Never closed your eyes to rest
Worked because you had to
Hungry, tired and oppressed

Then they gave you freedom
A gift you squandered away
You became a slave of your own pride
And the weaker ones your prey

You laughed at their misery
You let the hatred fill your chest
Never raised your head to look about you
Never cared about the rest
How easily one forgets
What it was like to be oppressed.
