Birthright to Subservience
Deviated Instinct

Crack of dawn and I arise Cock-crow; drudgery calls Morning light upon my bed of straw Brushing the straw from my rags Tightening the leather thongs The cold metal bar between the straps An ankle brace, restricts my movement Yet, the only way to stand on my own two feet A flashback of past cracking of bones The only birthright that is ours For the masters to break our minds in Tear apart our ankle bones, stop us from running Pledge allegiance to your master As he squeezes the spirit from your soul Pledge allegiance to your lord Your birthright to subservience Scared, so fucking scared Bound hand and foot by fear Tied to the stake of your own passivity The bracken at your feet You’re just waiting for the fire The final burning of your soul I stagger to the door; A makeshift board against a hole Gaze towards sunrise But the morning mist obscures my view The cracking whip rings in my ears The slave master calls Weals of rotting flesh ripple my back A brand of my allegiance Contemptuously gaze at the masters Their minds forever in bondage The privileged few who deny my freedom I’ll sit and bide my time Play their game for now I demand a pound of your flesh A POUND OF YOUR FLESH
