They'Ve Come To Kill Me Poem by Ricky Lewis

They push their morals and shove their laws
Breaking my spirit as I’m caught in their jaws
There’s no safe bet among the owners of this earth
Should I bother looking for an alternative to stillbirth?

No, no I won’t die for you, you’ve crossed the line
I’ve been controlled all of my life, it’s mine
They can’t come to kill me now,
I’m lost forgotten and I’ll find a way to live somehow

They’ve come to kill me
they’ve come to destroy me, but I will not succumb
They’ve found a way to kill me
They’ve found a way, but I know the outcome

The soldiers screaming, I am resisting,
For I am the unorthodox
Excuse to run for your lives,
dodging the bullets and the knives
You know I’m not going to die
Because deep down my soul can fly
Up so far beyond the reach of hell’s grasp I jump
The sky will carry me beyond

Fight, fight for the truth
Fight by nail and tooth
Spit on me, I shoot back
Shoot at me, I destroy back
You can’t trap me, I want to be free
Destroy me, I am envious of you
Even I wanted to kill me

A dying breath, a final goodbye, tears flow as they ask why
The oppression’s gone and the tyranny destroyed
But now a new rule of despotism has been employed
The cycle goes on, the routine so goes
They’ll never figure out how to make me die.
