Fettered


Warm waters on long hazy days
Shall I be fettered for my ways
Atone your deportment or I will craze
As they said to me in a blase...
It is them who shun me to this maze
Breaking free for all eternity
I am not what they think of me
Human I am a man
Man I am a human
Let but one throw the first stone
I shall put it in my treasure trove
Without the sticks without the stones
If not for the names
I should not have grown
Stifle me not for now it is known
Contentment is for everyone
