Why Did You Abandon Me?
Levy Abad
By Levy Abad Winnipeg, Manitoba
I
wrote songs for you
Lines
that tell your story
Verses
that share your dreams
Images
that depict your pain
In
my chorus, I called for a movement
I
called for freedom
To
break your chains
Why
did you abandon me?
When
like you, I am oppressed
Do
you want me to beg
The
way your masters humiliated you?
Do
you want me to sing your dirges
And
wail full of sorrow and pain?
Why
did you abandon me?
I
used metaphors and similes as my bullets
To
defend you
And
my guitar is my gun to shoot
The
spirits that haunted and possessed you
I
sung your songs in the midst of your enemies
Why
did you abandon me?
When
I fought for you
Why
did you abandon me?
When
I wrote songs for you to be free
Can't
you hear that your blues are my blues
Your
struggle, my struggle
Your
freedom is my freedom
Why
did you abandon me
When
I cared to sing my heart and soul for you?
