» Poem: i cant
i cant

I am the slave driver.
all they want is to be free,
free from the pain of my world.
But i can't let them be free,
i can not let them go.

I own the key to their cages.
All they want is to get out,
to get rid of the pain and suffering.
But i can't let them get out,
i can not let them be free.

I keep them awake when it is dark.
Though they are tired,
I can not let them fall asleep.

For i have felt the sacring pain of a slave getting free.
I have felt the shredding torture of a cagged man getting out.
and i have felt the endless feeling of someone falling asleep on me.

i can't let them go....
