Imagine

Porch

No freedom from this chrysalis
Can't break from broken life
Caged inside the endless wish
Singing pain from down the strife.
Ain't no new and shiny wings
No flitter, flutter, ain't no fly
No shape appear remaking things
No fly away, no by and by.
Can't stop my dreaming with no noose
Fingers scrabble for release
Done pulled it tight, let it loose
World swings beneath my feet
And they done think it's through
But someday won't be coccooned
Someday life be born anew
Somethin's changed, and doom is doomed
And they ain't see what it be they do
Think killing part done killed the whole
But ain't no trigger kill a soul.
