Feelings get hurt.
When you express your opinions?
But truth meant to offend.

Better to adapt and admire those that keep it real.

A slave didn't have a choice.
At least not like yours.

A slave--serving at the will of his power brokers.
Abused mistreated to various extend.

A black man upset because of the comparison stated to them.
But why be?
When you freely chose to join the prison plantation?

Sure, there are differences.
Then hosts of similarities too.

It just hurts your feelings when the word slave used.

You might say you feel like a Hebrew slave.
But in truth on the prison plantation, you face not the things they faced.

In assigned items of clothing.
In assigned jobs but only if you qualify.

Attack and official and the Cert team come and they will.
Gladly surrender and face your punishment level out by them.
