Chains
I am a slave like,
many men before me,
The black of the South,
The Indians of America,
The Mexicans in Mexico,
I am one of these,
I am all of these,
and I am none of these,
I have my own owners,
these are my troubles,
my heartaches,
my soul,
I have lived in struggle,
I have died in struggle,
and I will never break these
chains.
