Living Without Suffocating

We were prepared to endure.
We were prepared to endure.
But kids imprisoned without their parents?
But kids imprisoned without their parents?
We were kids without parents, imprisoned
but prepared to endure.

This is a suffocating desperation,
This is a suffocating desperation,
trying to live crowded.
trying to live crowded.
This is a trying desperation,
to live crowded, suffocating.

History imprisoned innocence in cages,
History imprisoned innocence in cages,
and the fascist no longer struggle to get out of the water.
and the fascist no longer struggle to get out of the water.
And no longer in cages, the fascist history
that struggled to imprison innocence, gets out of the water.

And history no longer in cages,
the fascists get out of the water.
Imprisoned parents were prepared to endure that,
but to imprison kids innocence
this is a trying desperation.
We struggle to live crowded, without suffocating.
