A Young Slave

Why can't I play?
White children dance and sing
in the light of day.

I want the tears to stop.
The tears of my family and friends.
There is too much fear.
What lies around the bend?

I hope freedom.
All the wounds will heal.
Songs will be sung in the sun.
End the day with a delicious meal.

The days could be fun.
Instead of my back in pain.
Do not yell and whip us.
And make us work in the rain.
I hope and pray for freedom.

I love Sunday dinners with family. Nice summer bbq s are the greatest. I try to have a peaceful life without the outside world affecting it. That s a challenge in itself!  View profile
