No crackers at all

When I grasp you, my hands grasp nothing
but a corpse that died with no justice

River –
We stand on your bank
tears falling on us
that stream into your heart

Everything looks at you twice
Ashamed, you look away,
you let it happen.
You can’t look for a fight.

nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid

It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings –
I know why the caged bird sings!

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds

The lips of truth are ever closed,
The head of truth is upright.
