Vile corruption! <br />You're so entrenched <br />In power tendrils <br />Your tentacles have tied Justice <br />And strangled Freedom so- <br />Let my people go! <br /> <br />Callous Greed! <br />You bleed my country dry <br />Of Her people's wages <br />And make them slaves <br />You think we do not know? <br />Let my people go! <br /> <br />Plastic Religion! <br />Your hypocrisy blinds <br />Deceives my countrymen <br />With your lifeless images <br />Empty rites and traditions <br />Falsehood in robes! <br />Evil's gone so low - <br />Let my people go! <br /> <br />Your chains have bled our wrists, our lips <br />But this pen writes <br />It will not dry <br />In silence cowered <br />Nor fear cold bars <br />And prison walls <br />The ink will flow - <br />Let my people go! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />May 15,2009 Tarlac City Philippines<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-my-people-go-2/
