Freak On The Wall

Once the body count is concluded
Tears will be washed away with pride
Cause everyone will see
The freak on the wall
Standing tall and dancing a gem
Smashed up there so long ago
By a man we all know
But his colors are gone
And so is his smile

The freak is so angry
Now that he knows he is gone
Smashed on a wall that is so flat
A white one to be exact
Cause an angry party always likes that
And a freak always loses
But one on the wall
Is never going to fall
Cause one on the wall never bleeds
Meaning he will never see

Sometimes we must face ourselves
And say why is he up there on the wall
He is only a freak but so am I
His blue eyes are like mine
And so is his broken spine
At least it will be in time
His cries are those of a little child
But sorrow is not there for him
As it would be for my little brother

He needs help to get him off
He’s not dead as you might say
Only lost in a different way
Just a little smashed on the wall
Cause a freak is a freak
But death is death
And what I know
Is that a freak is never dead
Just has a rearranged head

GET HIM OFF THE WALL
GET HIM OFF THE WALL
HELP HIM STAND TALL
HE IS ONLY A FREAK ON THE WALL
DON’T BE AFRAID
HE IS ONLY A FREAK ON THE WALL
GET HIM OFF THE WALL
GET HIM OFF THE WALL
DON’T BE AFRAID
HE IS ONLY A FREAK ON THE WALL

Len this is a brilliant, empowering peice of work.  Standing up for the poor, the shunned, the freak, is a brave and wonderful thing to do.  More people should have done it centuries ago and should do it today.
Wonderful work hon  
And by the way, no freak, could write and feel as you do!!
