Subservient: prepared to obey others unquestioningly.

So subjected and not a contemporary
Under another with instructions to carry
Beautiful but waiting to be told to marry
Sound training in skills could also be the story
Embarrassments, liable to cut the calorie
Rushing under pressure, too prone to say sorry
Void of titles are the stories in this dairy
Independence in master’s absence is forgery
Either one works or does nothing in a hurry
Neither should ask questions or make an enquiry
Command taken like soldiers of an infantry
Enslaved totally until sense and will tarry

It seems the world is this group of subservients walking huddled to their jobs where they all feel that they should follow close knit in everyone elses direction.... its time we fought to bring originality, and uniqueness to the table.... no more of back breaking rules! lol I like this, funom! makes me want to write an acrostic.
