Lessons, I learned from my Father
Be no man’s slave,
Wage or otherwise
No man’s serf or vassal,
Disadvantaged and despised
Never want so much
That you want for your dignity
Sold into servitude by greed or need
The endless engine of poverty
Bowed and broken
Driven and scourged
A Soul-less, Crushed Spirit Angry at life and living
Be not a place-holder,
But Fill your space, full
Live to serve, but never
Serve to Live
You are Greater than
Your present station
I am, We are The Raw Stuff of Nations
I AM No one’s Slave, and every one’s servant.
