Here I stand on thirsty earth
And gaze beyond the wire
Preparing for a better place
Beyond the blazing fire
A place of greener pastures
Where I can graze all day
No fence to hold me captive
A chance to roam and play
A place where I am more than
Just a mere commodity
Where I'm not 'just a product'
Where I'll finally be free
A place where my life matters
Where I'm not just a slave
Where no one steals my baby's food
And sends him to the grave
A place where I can be the mother
I was meant to be
And keep my baby by my side
To feed and bond with me
And so I stand here ready
Quite resigned to meet my fate
And watch the fauna flee
In desperation as I wait
Its calling me, that pleasant realm
Beyond the smokey haze
Its beconing me on now
Towards brighter, better days
And now I leave this all behind
I bid the earth farewell
Cruel inferno set me free
I've done my time in hell

I have always found verbal communication challenging, so I write.
