SLAVERY IN DISGUISE
SLAVERY IN DISGUISE

Over centuries ago,
Slavery was abolished
Liberated by laws and captivated by illusions.
A stagnant freedom.


Like an opulent slave
Decorated with ostensible illicit wealth.
Forsaken thy identity and heritage.
A detainee in foreign philosophy.

A mischievous compatriot.
Spuriously preparing your countrymen for precarious doom.
Hypnotized by hypocrites and mediocrits.
Ready to trade your countrymen for coin.

Benefiting from mayhem you engineered.
A culprit for an act you proscribed.
Never indicted by the sleuth.
For you mastermind and direct their actions.

As you sap their resources and freedom.
Swimming in the ocean they squeezed out of rocks.
Journeying in a train they pushed
Never satisfied with their efforts.

This is slavery in disguise.
A reality check down the lane.
Incredible how this has become a norm.
Defaming a nation of great aptitude and endowment.
