THE TOXIC BARS

I have been the passive captive

For ten score and 20 years

Now my anger and my rage

Adds to my madness they fear

I have been a passive captive

Now I protest all of the way

They force toxins into my body

Which is mine alone I say

I have been the passive captive

In silence I have endured

To no avail because

My voice was never heard

I have been the passive captive

And remain until this day

Incarcerated and locked up

My loved ones far away

I am no longer a passive captive

I do everything right

I cry alone into the daylight

I cry silently into the night

I will no longer be a captive

Soon my freedom will arrive

And I know now for sure

My madness and I still survive!
