Chapter 1 - 1




Why do you hate me?[br]
What have I done?[br]
You promised me I’d be free[br]
I long to see the sun[br]
[br]
I beg to you for mercy[br]
But you spit in my face[br]
A future I try to foresee[br]
I’m stuck forever in this place[br]
[br]
[br]
I long to see the face of my loved ones[br]
With my mother’s loving eyes[br]
And my father’s honoring grins at his sons[br]
I miss the place with no spies[br]
[br]
I lay here and cry[br]
I work all day and barley get to sleep[br]
Every day I sigh[br]
And think of the promises you never keep[br]
[br]
You say it makes me strong[br]
But day by day, I grow weak[br]
The abuse you put me through all day long[br]
You whip me if through the door I peek[br]
[br]
All I have done is obey you[br]
Why do you repay me this way?[br]
Every day you make me eat rat stew[br]
I think it rather revolting but here I still stay[br]
[br]
When I tell you the truth please believe me[br]
For I would never lie to you![br]
Can’t you clearly see[br]
That what I say is true![br]
[br]
I tell you this so that you may see,[br]
After many years of labor from by sweating back,[br]
That I wish to be set free[br]
And for the way home, food I wish to have in a sack.[br]
[br]
I wait anxiously for your answer I await[br]
You look around the room and press your finger to your lips[br]
You leave the room and return with a plate[br]
And all you say is “Our food is ready. From your drink I do not want you to take sips.[br]
[br]
For tomorrow you begin work at five o’ clock.”[br]
I follow you with my hanging low and not a glance upon me you bestow[br]
As I walk I stare down at my feet, which have only one sock[br]
I only dread the work you will give me tomorrow[br]
[br]
But here I will stay[br]
For that is my job[br]
Again I will never play[br]
For if I ever do leave I’ll be chased by a mob[br]
[br]
You send me off to bed later that hour[br]
I find it hard to sleep thinking if the torture that I will go through tomorrow[br]
The taste of the food was rather sour[br]
Until death or judgment day I lay here in sorrow.[br]

MinazukiTekaiwow, it's hurtful and I can never imagine the pain and suffering of that person... In reality we are all slaves on the inside
