Today I'm feeling better
Just writing my brother a letter
As I roam the city free
In a cage my brother be,
Think about living in a cell
Winter's cold summer hot as hell
He had to go to school or work
He may be foolish but no jerk,
He earns 1.25$ an hour
To earn more he has no power
150$ a month, (37.50$ a week)
Political greed trying to cut as we speak,
Farm workers here earn poor wages
More at the crops different stages
My brother is facing the same
Corporate greeds the name of the game,
My brother has been down for four 0
Freedom he may never come to know
At five 8 he may have thirty to go
One day his body will help seeds grow,
His smile I may not again see
Unless they decide he should be free
Life is an eternity to live in a cell
Cold as ice as hot as the fire in hell.
