Give me your keys so we can be free.
Leap from the clouds to the world beneath.
Blind fold your eyes so your heart can see.
Hold your breath so your soul can breathe.
Let your trappings escape the scene
challenge the winds on broken wings.
Unlock these bars lucid but stone
Encaging the right; enslaving the wrong
Enslaver with lips still judging me,
lashings and whippings
til’ my flesh won’t bleed,
Dressed in your regret and drenched in your sweat,
chained and tamed by your un-forgiveness.
You’re just the reason for the trying dying,
birds walking south in fear of flying.
The Hopeful giving up dreading no change,
the oceans’ flow over with abounding rain.
Prisoner please give me your keys,
unlock the bars that caged our dreams.
Don’t let these walls keep you weak,
bust and break through the concrete.
Parade our faces of deviation
except and understand our situations.
Quiet the song of indignity,
teach the fallen victory.
Be a hero and bravely save the day,
be a soldier and dauntlessly lead the way.
Lift these boulders from upon our breast,
Season your words with encouragement,
untangle our limbs from the barb wire fence
Give us back to innocence.
Prisoner please, you can trust me
loosen the locks on hands of free.
Before you’re next to die like me
prisoner please, give me your keys.

This was amazing and for some reason chilling...the imagry was slightly disturbing and forced onto the reader which makes for an amazing read when done as good as this. There was a sense of panic and fear that doned throughtout but struck hardest near the end. this was an amazing write double L. keep writing and know this is surely a favorite!
