*inspired when I was doing slavery in class <br />------- <br /> <br />These chains that bind my body, <br />Shall not bind my mind, <br />The skin taken from my flesh, <br />Shall not blind my sight, <br />These tears they shall not spill, <br />Till wrongs and rights are justed, <br />The dirt upon the my knees, <br />Is not my souls one colour, <br />My body you may own, <br />My mind is mine alone, <br />My soul it nests in His hands, <br />My life is mine alone.<br /><br />Holly Heron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mine-alone/
