Song/Poem of the Day — Let Me Go

Let Me Go

Is this the life for me, will there be nothing else Behind these bars and bound with chains Open your eyes to the world you created for me I’m just a Being like you, I need what you need Because I don’t read like you, speak like you Live differently then you do, I’m still life, and alive It’s not the way things have always been

Human Being, I am Animal Being Holding me captive does not make you whole Killing me does not make you strong You put a gun to my head because I just killed a man I was left with no choice to take this life You gave it freely when you came after mind But for now I’m of value to you, somehow You take my child and cut off my hands To some you cut off their face to steal their tusks, This is just some of the things you do

It’s not too late, the time has not come Let me go into the world as I should be Let yourself go into this world in harmony with Animal Being Let me go away from chains and all human constraints I see the soul in you that wants this so I see the fear in you that fights what you think you can’t let go Let me go and follow our herd See a different way forward for you and me

I see our silhouette side by side Caught up in love, in co-existence for the first time in humanity But I’m just Animal Being who doesn’t feel, who doesn’t think I’m just instinct you say, what do I know Let me go in my world and follow our herd Let me go in our world and do something new Let me go in this lifetime, the next generation will see how it’s done

You think you can hold me without any change to me, or you I cry like you, Human Being I am Being, life in my form Let me go to live my life This is how you will live your best life
