My Self
does not end
at my skin
I take in
the World all around
and I
am taken in
And when
a wall is built
my friend
a barrier to block
and cage
I'll tear down
that wall
in righteous rage
I'll shout
I'll fight
I will delight
in tearing out
that appalling page
from that accursed accounting book
that inventory of ruined slaves
for I am free
oh, yes, you see
I will never be contained
For
My Self
does not end
at my skin
I take in
the World all around
and I
am taken in.
