THE WORLD THAT FRAMES ME
August 7, 2019
With a plate in our hand,
We welcome you with a loud band.
But, just for you to know,
All this, it’s just a show.
You have come here to live by us,
Do as we say, you have no else way.
Talk as you walk,
With an elegance that’s hard to be lost.
Choose what you may
But, it should have our say.
Do what makes you feel at peace,
But remember we have a leash.
Go out, use your eyes,
You are no blind,
But don’t forget,
We own that mind.
You are free to live your own way,
But it should go along our say.
Cause you have a soul,
That’s trapped inside a body we own.
