Interrupting My Break…
… To bring you this anthem.
I refuse.
I refuse.
No Shackles On My Mind.
Not yours, not theirs.
No No No No.
I took the shackles
Off my mind a long ago.
I refuse.
I refuse.
If that makes me
Colonalized, then,
Yes, I am. Yes, I am.
If that makes me
A Deaf Militant, then,
Yes, I am. Yes, I am.
I refuse.
I refuse.
No Shackles On My Mind.
Not yours, not theirs.
No No No No.
You know what I
Really am?
Deaf
Live
Free
Thinker
Yes, I am. Yes, I am.
I’m a Deaf Live Free Thinker
Because I refuse, I refuse
To put on your or anyone’s
Shackles On My Mind.
No
Shackles
On
My
Mind…..

Labels divides us.
Labels creates polarities.
Everyone has the right to have their own P.O.V., and it does not necessarily that the group must follow one person’s P.O.V. or the person must follow one group’s P.O.V.
Once a free thinker, its lonely on the top.
Galileo was a free thinker.
Gallaudet was a free thinker.
Gandhi was a free thinker.
Why cannot we all? Free thinkers can truly see the bigger picture and knows how to put aside emotions to see things with much clarity.
