Week theme: poetic views on Slavery

*Slaves of the highest order*
We all are slaves 
Slaves to our religion,
Slaves to our decisions, 
Slaves to a choice,
Slaves without a choice,
Slaves to the past,
Slaves for the present,
Slaves even before the future.
Slaves!
Slaves to our desires, 
Slaves to our denials,
Slaves to our lust and greed,
Slaves to our culture and creed,
Slaves in our mind,
Slaves in different kinds 
Slaves in our blood that we bleed,
Slaves to our eyes when we see, 
Slaves to our senses,
Slaves sometimes out of senses,
Slaves with a menses,
Slaves in all sexes,
Slaves!!
Slaves to our emotions 
Slaves to our devotions 
Slaves to our addictions 
Slaves to traditions
Slaves without conviction
Slaves without a vision 
Slaves in all position 
Slaves to our health, needing medication
Slaves to an Education
Slaves needing dedication 
Slaves in our reading and meditation
Slaves to our self 
Slaves to sin 
Slaves to HIM
Slaves as a being 
Slaves to a king.
Slaves!!!
Aren't we all Slaves?

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...
