The Zebra affair



I was born to be free
A twist of fate 
Made me a prison habit
I can't hide anywhere

I was born to be free
They stuck me on the ground
To keep safe passage
To anybody crossing 

I was born to be free
Although I live in herds
I've never been domesticated 
I'm now an endangered species

I was born to be free
Kings I never carried
Wars I never wagged 
Still my skin adorns walls
