11 Eb
Yellow Spectral Human
Of all the crimes that
humankind commits
Of all injustices and harms
likewise
Slavery no valid defense
permits
Yet it prevails in all
lands in disguise
Like Osiris we are bound in
coffins
Made of flesh and blood in
third dimension
The soul as butterfly
beneath the pins –
Caught in matter without
comprehension
The theft of freedom maims
adult and child
Akin to savage severing of
limb
The spirit born to thrive
within the wild
Can never soar, explore,
express, or climb
Imprisoned by Birth and
Bondage are we
One can never fly unless All are free.
