Whose Slave Am I

Let me review my life, of the many falls
The thinking gets deeper, asking who faults
Sooner is not later of how I impress life
Darkness always argued over life strife

Love cannot sustain the pallor of clamor
Only silent words in a mouth of glamour
Bliss of surrendering and rest in my grave
It may be well to die and cease to be a slave

I trade my body for a plate of food
Difficult hour, alone and seclude
Yet I am still a man with blow if just loosen
Dirty face, weary body with fractured bone

Rain cannot wash the mock that defaced my well-being
Neither do I can think of revealing my freeing
There is no roof against my oppression
Only white cloud that looms overhead has the guilt impression

Now my heart is sore afraid of beating
My smile was captured along with sympathy’s calling
No chance to see the light only heaven will allow
My life succumbed gently into heavens aglow

It really strikes me that somehow it gives a salutary attention for those in authority to deal with this issue of slavery. Humans are not programmed to behave like this. Appreciate your opinion. (^_^) Noel.

The soul of one who is not free clamors for death where he can find freedom at last. You have captured the voice of one who suffers. Good one, kabayan! Keep them coming! Kim :-)

Hi, Kim, it's an unfortunate fact that in other parts of the world there still exists this slave trade. Thanks for the visit. (^_^) Noel.
