DarkPoetry -|- Jonas -|- i am a slave

i am a slave

i am the servile class
i am a slave
i make the necessities of living
of which i am stripped and given a wage

i am a villain
i am a theif
i am a serf and a peasant
feeding the lord at the tip of his sword
tied to his fief
and if i open my eyes
and if i Twist my tongue
if i demand more
and am defeated
then death is relief
=
stand with me
o my sisters and brothers
deliver me or die with me too

one is not many
two cannot hope to do
let us all raise our voices together
let the many rise
let us destroy the priviledged few

"feeding the lord at the tip of his sword" This has a viking feel to it, like warriors singing to Valhalla, in a charge & spur for glory, or more... and yet feels more like a shade, a shadow of the thief. We are all slaves. Nicely done.

This is fantastic... there's a Marge Piercy poem I should send you sometime- this reminds me of it.

servitude renders us useless but for the services we offer under the heel of federal wages. peace is an illusion in that we are in a perpetual state of warfare; financial, economic, educational and societal warfare.

ah, but even when the masses rise, there's always those appeased by tokens, and then the masses return to their ignorant corners, happy to scratch in the dirt as long as they can scratch with shiny things..
