Slaves : Life

written by Poet : EC


Standing like a sentinel

waiting to serve when demanded

you my sometimes-slave by choice

cruel me, to let you down, to slip away unseen

 

However, my conscience is stirred

it’s true that I didn’t ask you to do this

still, you do it and I feel my guilt

it makes me think: Who owns whom?

 

By doing this you make me owe you

I don’t want to, but that’s the truth

slaves may hold leashes on owners

tugging at yours I realize that you hold mine

tightening it you turn the tables
