Slaves and slavery

Slavery
You can never talk about history without slavery, 
Birthed from a feeling of superiority,
Society placed us in social strata
But who is society?
he rich, the labour, or the hungry beggar?
Questions no man answered 
sure swords were unsheathed,
Guns and whips were not inhibited,
but who made you a slave? 
Owner, who put you in chains?
Or You who could not stand for your gain?

 Egyptians held israelites for many years,
building pyramids even while in tears,
they say the Egyptians made them so,
but the Pharaohs were scared of Jacobs people.
Their numbers were multiple ,
they were the matrons in the hospital,
but why could they not stand for the freedom of their people?
Freedom! all men are freeborn.
so when you are carrying bricks in another man's Kingdom
know it's your decision.
Some claim victims of war, circumstances or religion 
But I say victims of fear.
not fear of a man or gun..
but fear of standing for your will.
Fear of death, 
fear of returning to the earth.

Though my back breaks,
though my heart aches,
though my stomach craves,
"MY WILL WILL NEVER CAVE"
For I am no slave.

Slave to Love!!!

Slavery of your mind Living in the illusion you called love You feel it is one of a kind Ordained from above The one thing He craved was the very thing you gave You thought it was bravery to fall in love but I knew it was slavery when He could not get enough. Of what you could give but even at your detriment, you wouldnt leave your sacrifice was insufficient so you silently grieved. He never planned to fall like this Never believed in love until it hit him hard like bricks fell for your pretty face the way your hip sways kinda superficial I told him with you there was no thing special But He wouldn't listen wore his heart on his sleave now it's gone missing but He still holds on to the mirage of you loving him but I know to you taking him sounds like a sin Girl and Boy You are a slave to Love not wanting to Let go The roads are bent and curved I should let you know As you've walked out of track, look at the mirror and let your flaws sho...
