Awaken as a grown man
Yet this is the first site I ever saw
From the fertilized soil I ripped my hand
The nails were filthy and the flash was raw

Moved the hair from my eyes and tried to see
But the light of the sun was painful
Wanted to get up and try to flee
My disability became hateful

A root connecting me to the earth
Probably the reason I sustained alive
It's nurturing me all that is worth
And as the truth hit me, into blackness I dive

I woke up, no longer inside the land
For my awareness from the garden I was band
If I can think than I can respond
And in my specie create a bond

I was hushed
Crushed
Vanquished
I never was, as a few others before
They threw inside and locked the door
There I observed their faces, not all of them alive
Some of them dying, fighting to survive

Here I'll be until the end
For not letting them use me
Their secret rule I offend
And in all my short conscious life I had never felt so free
