Slavery
Look at that old
man of color
hes worked all his
life to benifit another.
Hes worked his fingers
down to the bones
Wore the same tattered
clothes for days on end
Will his slavery
never end.
Couldnt go to church
couldnt go to school
Oh but he learned
the golden rule.
He was beat and chained
and worked harder than
a mule.oh yes he learned
the golden rule.
He went to bed hungry
time and again but to save
his family,he would do it again...
Slavery is such a sad thing to read about. Great poem though.
