Enslaved Poems - Poems about Enslaved

We, the freeborn, born to be free, Yet shackled by chains of mental slavery, We sought knowledge in hallowed halls of learning, But found ourselves lost in labyrinths of yearning. Western wisdom wooed us with siren's call, Luring us from our heritage, our ancestral wall, Intuitive analysis, a double-edged sword, Cutting through certainties, leaving us scarred and poor. We thought education's light would...

blood drips down my sickly body. blade like a brush dancing across my delicate skin. painting a lovely picture. a puddle of blood and tears pooling at my feet. this is how i go. at the command of the blade, my lover. my enslaver. ...

(Girl playing, Tibet, 2009) Memories of a Slave The world, at least my world, is nothing if not predictable. There are moments however when the Sun breaks through and a real unexpected, enlightening, light shines. Usually this is in dreams when I begin to float or fly, but sometimes it’s just as simple as laughing at the absurd twist of something...

Walking through the halls unopposed, Seeking weakness and pillaging fears, Bullying the weak and it’s all cheers, All those around with their eyes closed. Large crowd, feeling alone; enslaved behavior, Tied and bound to posts of false peers, No one here seems to be as they appear, Looking around seeking help from a savior. Where are angels, the volumes they speak, All over...

I have not visited for a year, oh, in truth your spirits are not here; as E.E. Cummings wrote, "I carry you in my heart," here, there is a cold stone with your names now part. You are buried, your bones decay, you are engraved; and with deep grief- I am forever, ever enslaved. ____________________ July 15, 2022 Poetry/Rhyme/Grief Enslaved Copyright Protected, ID...

A new king over Egypt then arose, Joseph's esteem, no longer of record. He said, "Behold, Israel has grown large; They are too numerous to be ignored." "Come now, we need to deal shrewdly with this, Lest they increase, with our enemies band, Before war breaks out, and we are out-manned, Fight against us and escape from the land." Therefore, they set taskmasters...

You're the honey-sweet nectar, and I'm the bumblebee. You hold me captive; caged in your mesmerizing eyes, enslaved by your wicked charms. Don't ever free me! Submitted for... Charm Me ~Poetry Contest Sponsored by Line...

You hate me because of the color of my skin You loath me so when will The Strife disappear He wished me enslaved, this is how you behave Some 300 years ago we were a tool an animal Cannot articulate the hate Never understood nor understand definition of a man Disparity never understood masses...

I am black Dark black in my skin I have never thought of changing it Or improving it in their eyes- They that named me as a beast They that maltreated me with their minds They that enslaved, and hated me with all the books they know I am still black. I am black Dark black is my skin Black beauty is truly natural They that...

~Enslaved My Heart~ I kiss each word I send to you Drifting upon a morning breeze Just know those words are true I sent them with graceful ease Hoping they find you with a kiss Upon your strong chiseled face It's just a little seductive promise One you won't want to replace Sent with intentions to show a need I have, I want to give my...

Drained of every drop of pride she cups her hands in vain As eyes seek to escape her haunting gaze. Gaunt and pale, her spirits crushed, young mind and body slain, Existence is one long and dreary haze. Sometimes in her dreamlike state she sees another life Where happiness and peace walked hand in hand, There a young girl freely plays,...

Lock me in a tower, tie me to the bed. The secrets that you whispered, play inside my head. Tell me Again, you want me. Show me, HAVE NO FEAR! Please!! I beg.... Touch me, More! Like that, Right here..... Somewhere far away On a moonless night, torture me, endlessly.... I promise, I'll pretend to fight.... Fine is the line between pleasure and pain. Punish me with ecstasy, strip me of my shame.... Satisfy my dark desire. I'm burning deep inside... Willing to be enslaved...

The saying goes, “Money makes the world go round” and yet as I step onto this adult plane as the initiated guest that I am, I have come to learn how false these six words ring, for it is not money that purports to be the cause behind the revolution we see, but instead the devil we know too closely the one we wantonly call...

Hive mind behind. Recognize the sign. A different train to align. Travel alone. Taking time. Beware, riptide. Changing clime. Soon, hunters blind, won't hide, what they want. What you have, inside. Nothing sacred. Secrets. What's had, confide. Divulge what's missed. No sanctum clarified. Transparency will be verified. One man island, rarified. Forcing narrow, they preach the wide. Actions justified. In turn, hang the spy. Freedom rescind. It's all a lie. Clipped wings. Our Eagle no longer can fly. This guy reveals truth. Traitor label. Media to fry. Populace blind, rejected. Lines fade. Time comes to choose a side. Apathy runs out. Some things can't slide. Hand out. No free ride. Shackles instead. Sated appetite. Blind children, lost. Eating what's fed. What price you...

A moment of weakness came and passed by, A thing that should not have come to pass Age should have shown greater maturity. Perhaps, it was the Time, Tsunamis of tears, bitterness, ingratitude, Are best buried deep into the times. The ocean of emotions Had been swelling and lapping within its shores Yearning for unveiled truth and divine justice. The heart oft questioned...
