VICTIM
I stand alone.
I stand unheard, unnoticed.
I am on my own.
And the world cannot see.
Confined to space and time am I
And I cannot try
Cannot try to escape the damning high
The high they get from hurting me.
The hue of my skin was no matter to them
Nor was my age
Nor was my rage
The rage from liberty taken from me.
I cry at night
I cry in spite
Cry out for them to set me free.
But alas no one hears
My cries fall silent on society's deaf ears
But you, can you hear me?
The victim which you cannot see.
CAPTOR
I sit on a throne.
I sit haughty, mighty.
And I, I own
A thing that serves only me.
The thing is mine
Chained by my commands
Wounded by my hands
But silent as can be.
I have no crime
No crime assigned
To me in some registry
I, they don't find
I bide my time.
I run scott free.
And do I care
do I dare
Dare feel guilt in me?
I don't dare.
I don't care.
It's just a thing to me.
OBSERVER
I run confused
I run back and forth
Between what can and cannot be
Slaves you say
Slaves today
Today in our country?
It cannot be.
But you say it is and now I see
I see that cruelty still lurks round me,
Round the world
We cannot let it be.
THE TRINITY
We are together
We are coexisting constantly
We the three, a broken trinity.
