Toil

by Lightzout99

No man is free that speaks from a cage. Choke chains spiked to the dirt, Sweat feeds the fields like rain. With calloused hands, The nameless toil away. Fed a morsel, From a fistful of grain. Praying for clouds to shelter the sun; If only for a day. A famine of hope. Straw cities of the voiceless, Screaming silence.
