Free Slaves

People bought and sold as chattel Considered no more than cattle This still goes on today, you see In markets we are told are free The difference being that the slave once bought and sold for a fee is now free to sell his services then slave away ~ a new employee

What can I say. We are all slaves to something, in a sense.

Free markets but slavery still in place however good when he is sold for a fee For he becomes free. The slave now free, sells his services and slaves away merely now, a new probably disgruntled, employee. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Sometimes I think that the only difference between the warden and the prisoners is that the wardens are on the outside of the locks.
