THE SLAVE

The slave is made by force or by choice, the slave some say is a curse. 
The slave worships or submits, they choose the path that makes them sick or glad.
The slave has to follow the master, making them slave to things that can be awful. 
The slave has needs like food, money, love, and many more unclear, like a tree needs sun and water the slave has needs and gets dependent. 
The slave is not always negative; it can be a choice that makes it glad. Like a team that works for good, it has one that is at the head. 
The slave is of its environment changing, moving and contributing, like energy it moves, giving it power all of its own. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always on my journey home.
