Let Them Be Free Let them be free Kings of the forest and sea is what they should be Don’t hurt them, don’t send them away, don’t abuse them, don’t use them Let them be free Let the roam through the world Not limit their space Let them live till they die of themselves Let them be free Free to live, to love, to be Let them be free Kings of the forest and sea is what they should be Swim in the sea Roam through the land Kings Leave them be Let them be free The Monster Born in captivity Born to be killed Lived with my mother Slaughter after I was born I will never know her Until the monster comes I grow up Always still can’t move far Grown in small fields No food left for me I live in misery When my time comes They fatten me up I know what’s going on I will soon be with my mother I feel scared Petrified I’ve seen it done before The monster is coming for me They take me to death 2 years old Pulled by 3 men I struggle and kick I don’t want to die They take me I stand before them I see it The face of death The monster Three Two One My mother standing before me My Life Your Show There used to millions of me now there are thousands Illegally killed for others use I want there to be more of me Just like before All you want is my ivory Don’t care if I die I’m a living thing too Just like you You’re here for my resources But there is more to me than just that I have a life And a little baby that needs to be taken care at that You kill me so she does too Humans don’t realize that we have feelings too Just like you We may not be the same But we feel too There is more to me than ivory Your trinkets, jewelry, furniture, and more They’ve cost much They’ve cost money, illegal trade, But most of all They cost a life All just for show Think about that Life equals a trinket Life equals jewelry Life equals a piece of furniture What I’m hearing is my life is less important than showing off I don’t think so No money for my family I’m left with one choice Offered money to kill If I do this money galore If I don’t I save a live but I may die myself If I do this I live with guilt But I’ll live like a king If I don’t I’ll be satisfied with my justice But I won’t live much longer I had no food for weeks Stealing water from the neighbors I barely eat my portions Save them for the baby I want to live but I don’t want to kill What to do what to do I’ve decided I go out To make money I grasp my gun Go out to the field Deep breath Pull the trigger I look away Five more shots Falls to the ground Bam Loud I hear it shriek in agony I go to it I see it’s eyes I wish I didn’t But I can’t take it back Money flows in I live with guilt Live like a king Guilt Guilt Guilt I still hear it shrieking Agony Pain Vain I can’t take it Live with guilt for the rest of my life I never tell my kids I can’t bare to see their faces Guilt Guilt Guilt Always there can’t get rid of it Guilt Only in my dreams Everyday goes by Playing through the fields Running with my family Limitless space Food galore Family that loves me Comfy dog bed Fun Fun Fun I play all day When they leave to go to school miss them When they come home we play some more Playing Playing Playing Fun Fun Fun The perfect life The life of my dreams But it stays only in my dreams I wish I could have this But only in my dreams.
