Animals and Murderers
June 10, 2010
I was murdered
now i'm rotting in the earth
like the rest
but not not like them
i was a murderer
i stalked people like prey
i hunted without mercy
i killed without thought
i was caught
thrown down a hole with bars
they called it a prison
more like my death
i am now free
wandering the skies
searching for more food
but unable to forget my time in captivity
i am an animal
with muscles grinding together to make me run
to make me fly
to make me swim
i was free
but now i'm dead
because an animal without a name isn't what we used to be
i wish to be free once more.
