"A Slave"
She is shy,too timid,too calm
I never hear a word of hers
I am afraid she can't hear or may be
She is unable to speak
I came near and asked"can you hear me?"
She nodded and i really felt relief
"My girl do you have a name?",i asked her.
Lost as if in a mist ,she gave no nod no answer
She only looked amazed.
Was it too hard to say her name or maybe
my girl is new to the world of names
"Can i give you a name my little girl?"
She is a slave,but my dear,we are all slaves
"why did you buy me?"she finally asked me.
As someone else would have scratched
Your beautiful face.
But you know,you are free,as we are all free
It is us who bound our hearts
Our minds and souls
If you think i would put you in a cage
And tie your legs and hands
You are wrong
Absolutely wrong
I would never put a bar around your heart
You are free to go wherever your heart urges
You to go
She lowered her face and sorrowfully said:
I have no home ,they have destroyed my home
With our last brick in the wall
What is your desire?
To stop life
Or to start life with me here around?
She looks honestly and says:
A home i desire just to feel home is all i desire
I have longed for walls to surround and keep
Me inside
I am tired of walking , running, sleeping outside
Under the rain,or the scorching heat of sun
What is home if it is void of warm people
Trying all their life to keep it alive
I choose to be part of your home
As long as you promise
To keep me around.
