Slave For Life~

I close my eyes and remember the place, The place that makes me happy The place where I can remember thoughts of you When you left I thought all was lost… Until I finally met her, Walking through the mall I saw her Small waist and such a sweet face we finally met. Today we are considered as one Many may not agree but we are in love and we are a family She loves me and I love her! Dreams of a better life drives us to wake up every day Working hard to provide and To show her how a true queen feels This I know… A constant reminder of my laziness I am stuck at work Considered a house nigga I have to work Educated and dressed well I am a slave I work everyday and own nothing Modern day slavery extends to all low-income family’s Work every day and be considered free Back in the day you would be just another slave like me~ By: John Cornell
