Beauty In Shackles by saminspires: 10:30pm On Aug 18, 2013 |
BEAUTY IN SHACKLES Beautiful & glittering Polished & refined Quintessential; eloquent Like gold having smelt the flames Like a newly hatched chick Velvet furs and bright eyes Eyes with a view into tomorrow Beaks sharp enough to till Claws strong enough to scratch An heart well vascularized Too perfect for this world Too radiant to be dulled To sharp not to pierce But yet this beauty I see trapped in a den I see his predator looking innocent He offers friendship even to his prey He offers him cake And tells him not to till He gives him warmth And so this prey forgets he has furs He even devises a ladder One which he tags a promotion scale He beckons him to labour harder each day Because his auditors come to appraise He fuels his zeal with money Just a tiny bit from the lot this prey' harvested He gingers him to be the presido The very Oga of every other prey This beauty therefore neglects ALL His life, health, and his Vision Each day I see him run to his den by 5am He says TGIF when he' finally freed He aspires to clock 30years 30years of slavery; 30years in shackles 30 because he' heard there's a pension after Pension- Crumbs every month from the loaf he baked Hmm!!! This beautiful slavery I see A man loosing his life to live another A man sweating blood to appease another A man back-stabbing his individuality A man scared to chart his own course A man loving chains, just because freedom looks dark I wail as I ponder I shed tears as I write But may these chains not last forever May this courage come to live my life May this chick remember its beauty Its claws, beak and feather That it came complete Perfect and able to till, harvest and feed others That it came to be the Boss And not a slave of money May this COURAGE truly come I stand to live my Life- my VISION ...SamInspires... |
