I looked in your eyes

and saw the potential you hold

you are broke and there was

a time you weren’t

you are so beautiful

yet the plague runs deep

I see myself in your flesh

the entrapment of the cage has

robbed you of your glory days

my once fluttering flower

now resembles the

wither in its final hour

this is hard to stand by and see

god you are so abundant and free

the spirit yearns for you to sing

bring back the life that

was once liberty
