Patricia Galvan Slave Poem

I fulfill an empty redundant life
were freedom is mocking over hills
life is a challenge but I strive
I gain endurance and strength that builds

crossing plains just to be free
is but only a goal one can not see
no one understands how feelings show
for tormentors hurt us just to be sold

  1. Well I can't figure out how to post my poem, and I'm running out of patience. So sorry everyone, I will write my poem as a comment.

    Milla Wintch Slave Poem
    What will I do?
    I've been a loyal slave all my life.
    I have loved an amazing man,
    And now no man say
    I've raised a beautiful boy
    Who I want to see everyday.
    My life has become very cold.
    My boy is being sold.
    Why must our lives
    Be different then the white?
    A cold night that gives us a bite.
    Yet running away
    Will give me a new life
    How will I avoid the strife?
    Tonight I will leave
    With no other choice,
    And I will be bold.
    My boy is being sold.
