Wrote this while waiting in the welfare office when I was 16 years old
Denied the right
To freedom
Rejected the plea
Of hunger
They've taken away
My existence
And replaced my name
With a number

Treated as an animal
Flocks of sheep are waiting
They're bowing down to power
While our lives are fading
