"Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby." - Unknown


Sitting, waiting for a command
Is something he could never understand

Lying, cringing between each lash
To him, seemed rather rash

Crying, chained down by the wrists
Called desperately for an abolitionist

Dying, dressed in a dirty, white rag
Silently raised a torn white flag

This poem is very sad. But you did a very nice job and it came out beautifully :) I look forward to more from you!
