"land of the free"

Gazing out the window, blackened and chared by the smoke, trying to remember what its like to be free.
my life controled by another and a heart thats not my own. brused and battered, cold, set in stone.
caged within a world that stands for freedom, people walking beside us we say that we dont need um.
sufficating in the embrace of humanity, smothering in the rage, blanketed in calamity. a gry cloud of carnage
and debri. ashes and bone hiding blue skies we took for granted that now we cant see. this is what we
stand for in the land of the free condeming each other for trying to be. staring down the barrel of a gun my
"enemy"a chiled who could shoot before they could stand. dead before they could run. what happen to
innocence,to fairytales, to being safe, being a child. we spread like a plauge across this world we call home.
we see that its dying but just wont leave it alone. we're massecuring children, leaving them in the streets. rotting
flesh for the flies to eat. little faces screaming in silence. eyes filmed in hatred, with nothing behind them. this
is the land where we stand for liberty. killin sisters and brothers, destoying families. caged within ourselves
from which we cant flee, breaking, restraining, but always retaining the memories
