Slavery I

This recent times ,I thought it had ended , But it persistently dwells in my heart , I enrolled to be one ,as I blended With others , and I begged to be a part, I applied with my hands with referee Backing it up with cogent experience And good skills ;but now ,I want to be free, My mind seeks freedom that’s non-existence , I worked hard as a slave to be on top , Though my mouth is not padlocked like the past, When in the cane field, but this has to stop , Poor wages, health and fake freedom shouldn’t last The zeal in me burns off with no desire , As I pray to set this refuse on fire . ***Dedicated to all workers –both in the public and private sectors…. May God set us free from slavery………. 1-23-2017
