Dead And White

There he goes again
Up the ladder, down the drain
Behind bars and shackeled chain
He was hung coz a white man ordained
"Tell them i killed...because i was right"

-"Son!! any last wishes for the night"

"Dont let the dawn break upon my body,
i shall forever live in the dead of the night"

-"Hang this man! he gives society a fright"

-"Free him from his physical self"

-"We have decided now let god help"
He walked out and cried
His body hung next to him
But he was not in sight

"Amen",said the parishner
Choked and dropped dead like a winner
In a second became a mute stunner

-"Why did we hang the man and set him free!!"

-"Why did not we cleanse his soul and let him be"

All cried and cursed the white man's ordinance
Drooped dead like falling geese and filthy tenants
5 minutes and they all cried
But none in sight
A fresh dew felt in the room
Thier moist tears were not just a few

-"Let us hang him again"

-"We will fight for democracy in this dead man's domain"

-"Let us base baseless laws"

-"Create a society before night falls"

The man rose and walked and hugged
Requested them not to be bugged
"You are free from one land,
Your mind is free but your soul still stands,
Let not your other world effect your existence,
Cleanse your soul and free from sinning,
We are dead yet we meet again,
Please dont rage wars in this domain,
Let us live through our death,
Hold hands and imagine a deep breath,
Look down and see
Is that the wrold you wanted to be?
Sick and hatefull like rotten flesh,
Please realise you are beyond death's bed,
Rise above the hatefulness,
here lies the fairy beauty in obscured existence"

They held his arm
And took him again
Up the ladder, down the drain
Behind nothingness and unbearable brains
He was hung coz a dead white ordained

"Believe me i killed you because i was right"

-"Son any last wishes for the night?"

"Let me fall and this rope break my neck,
See the miracle i create,
Witness the beauty no mortal can contemplate"

-"Hang him he dosent deserve to be dead!!"

And the man was born
a lovely child
from a loving womb
on the sacred doctors bed
throughout his life
his skin he was again to shed
but bless him!!
for his murders were far away
building democracy
amongst lively, peaceful, uncertain death!!
