Master Has A New Slave

by @Paulkgaje

Master has a new slave. For years I've went from one diamond to another with no penny for my services. Dug holes and buried daffodils, Dug holes and buried daffodils. Carried by the spirit that shall give life to my children, Children to children's children. I've worked the way of a slave and never let my master carry a spade. 'though time told too many stories of the previous slaves, I hoped mine was that of the history pages. The blood drips on my cold knees as I crawl the dark for a meal, She usually brings me something nice, Oh master what are we having tonight? The master's table should be kept clean at all times, We don't want master eating dirt, alright? Master is late for her food tonight, It must be a busy night. She usually utters of her unwell businesses, I believe she is tired. I feel the chains on my feet being loose, Master won't like this one bit. The trees tell tales of the old berries, And those that bury often get buried by no one. Master smiles and tells me to run as she holds a gun counting to ten. I'd run a bit more faster but my feet are swollen and needs healing. As the trees come closer, darkness comes to sight and master smiles as she sends the new slave to bury my corpse.
