Limbo

Limbo
limbo like me
limbo
limbo like me

long dark night is the silence in front of me
limbo
limbo like me

stick hit sound
and the ship like it ready

stick hit sound
and the dark still steady

limbo
limbo like me

long dark deck and the water surrounding me
long dark deck and the silence is over me

limbo
limbo like me

stick is the whip
and the dark deck is slavery

stick is the whip 
and the dark deck is slavery

limbo
limbo like me

drum stick knock
and the darkness is over me

knees spread wide
and the water is hiding

limbo 
limbo like me

knees spread wide
and the dark ground is under me

down
down
down
and the drummer is calling me

limbo
limbo like me

sun coming up
and the drummers are praising me

out of the dark
and the dumb god are raising me

up
up
up

and the music is saving me

hot
slow
step

on the burning ground.

Limbo
Limbo like me
Bend over succumb
Yet not
For the mind is free
Even when the body isn't

How is language a sufficient affront to the years of inhumanity endured ?

English language now belongs to no one
Answers to no master and to all masters
My lah is mine. My appreciation of Tyger Tyger Burning Bright is mine too

The language

Answers to no master
And to all masters

Limbo
Limbo like me
Bend the language
Mould it to me

Long dark deck and the water surrounding me
If i dream in English the language belongs to me

Stick hit sound
And the ship like it ready
Break break break
is mine still steady
