Shackled Poem by Tony Adah

Shackled



Now we are out
Of the prison
I had thought we will
Die in there
Freedom means so much
So to us
That we counted every step of it
But death inside that prison
Where death pangs pinched
Was better than giving us freedom
Without a voice
Everything happened
And we are mute
We are deaf
We are blind
We are lame
Looks like this time
We were the jailors
In a prison where we were prisoners.
