I Am Secure

<br>My room looks out to the wide open spaces<br>My heart is touched by awakening faces<br>I see the panic of people in motion<br>I can stand here, look out on an ocean.<br>I am a wall awaiting a catchword.<br>I see the city laid out like a patchwork.<br>Alone I am free from hatred and blindness<br>I hope that this life is frozen and timeless.<br>My man is here, we grow old by inches.<br>Tomorrow I`ll walk among heroes and princes.<br>I feed the boys, I hear secrets whispered.<br>I know the hearts that are battered and blistered.<br>I am secure<br>In this world of apartheid.<br>This is my cell, but it`s connected to star - light
