Title: Oh Ma

Poem: A revolution from within
drove me to the gallows,
persecuted for my thoughts.
You all played a part
for society was the jury.
Another voice, another victim
falling helplessly into a pit,
no bottom to escape the fall,
a mind to build its surroundings.
walls to imprison time.
Oh ma, words are all I have.
Don't cry, all you're seeing is alright
I'll fight it through
I can't recall when the lights burned out
swallowed by the darkness in the mist of the night
don't you see I'm free?
Free from salvation
untouched by your lies.
Oh ma, don't bring me back
I've found the roots of happiness
growing deep underground.
Oh ma, don't you cry
when you can't hear my voice calling out
I'll be awake but asleep to all
Don't let them take my silence as giving up...
