Slavery
May 15, 2015
Each day is the same
You wake up
And work
Not for one hour
But for the whole day
You work from the day you are born
Not as a person
But as property
One false step
One spoken syllable
and their will be blood
Not aloud to read
Nor write
Just working
With little water
And one break
