Set Me Free
Animals cry and beg and plead
For them to desperately be freed
Help us we do not wish to die
Mundane shall keep us where we lie
Battered, bruised and bloody so
We’ve been beaten since long ago
Tested on, to slay and poach
All for things just like our coat
Our horns, our fur our lifelong passion
Removed in a blink for some mere fashion
T’is money that you take our life
T’is near us always a trench knife
Although we may not have a voice
You still have a simple choice
Let us free, be on our way
Or send us to a worthless grave
Let Me Live
You hit me, beat me, and more so still
Because you simply enjoy the thrill
I color different, and also praise
Not penetrated by suns rays
I wear a different skill to you
Because I am and come from Sioux
You leave me out, of job and home
So, you can sit on your white throne
You leave my family by the bed
Starving as they wound their head
Mundane a mere mortal so
Like me from many long ago
I follow law like many others
I live my life long side, my brothers
I take no bully, but I take fear
When guns and bullets be what I hear
