He Is A Slave
November 17, 2013
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!
