AMERICAN SLAVE
American slave is a person who must follow all the rules, has to pay all its dues, gets nothing in return, and must pay for everything and even take the blame when things go wrong.
American slave is the person who is last on the list, they must be last because many think they have had so much privilege.
American slave must pay and pay, even when they die they must follow more rules and pay more for death.
American slave gets a number and is tracked all of their life, they are manipulated into few choices, their path are often confused, living tired and in a state of disbelief.
American slave got put in an environment that created desires that made them get addicted to drugs and cheap food, and other types of negative behaviors, making their body weak and dependent on other types of negative stuff and behaviors.
American slave dreams of freedom, freedom of clean air and food and shelter, freedom to have children and have all of their needs met.
American slaves lost all of their ancestor’s assets by way of loss, so many losses of property and other types of stuff.
American slave use to be able to find food growing freely to eat and take home to cook, now everything sold, causing a loss for all.
American slave remembers some of the history, making us ponder and dream of a correction.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
