Servitude
Literally a slave
if you need a wage
you life is not your own.
Many of your thoughts
are not. You replay the day -
inefficiencies
stupidities
indignities
iniquities of The Master
your Ten Commandments.
You are not your own. And
the more you want to own
the less you are your own.
You pay with pieces
of your SELF
in order to obtain
subsistence pay
and attempt imitation
of the gluttonous display
of The Masters who make use
of all the Poor,
the Poor can produce
to drive the wage down
as living costs skyrocket
and The Masters gag
on the staggering profit.
