Cadaver , we carry them on our shoulders
Cadaver of religion caste politics democracy
Carry them fight for them kill for them
Protecting them all our lives
Protecting them so that we can gift wrap them and give them to our next generation
For them to carry it all their lives and pass it on
Could have shrugged them off
Travelled into the light knowledge
Evolved
But we’re too scared to do something
Different
Carried on what everyone did
Terrified and secured with the weight on our shoulders
Imagining it to be our shield
Let our peers, leaders feed on our fears
And made them stronger
Our fears made them superheroes
And we made our coming generations
Tied up with these chains never moving forward
Slaves of traditions culture politics religion
