Beneath the heart of broken
shells
Lies a prisoner
With thoughts tied to
fetters
Of man downcast with life
of an outcast
I am here trickling the
earth's ear
To lend an open ear
Beneath the
smiles
Kissing the
cheeks
Lies a
prisoner
Tormented by
the throne
Deprived the
air
Of a golden
scent
And pushed to the dust
Where soles
kiss and spat
Let the
earth unzip its ears
And bear my
thoughts
Those of a
prisoner
With sagged
trousers and dreams
The street
is my abode
A slum with
pride
Home to
hearts
Tied to
chains of agony
Destiny
snores in my dreams
Here I march
on tattered shoes
Scrubbing
the streets with my broken heels
Till my life is free like
birds in the wild
