Enslaved Woman – by Steve Reid
I breed workers for my master.
I breed for my master.
I breed for the strongest in the yard.
I breed… it’s hard.
I cook for my mistress.
I scrub my mistress.
I nurse for my mistress.
I am raped for my mistress.
I can’t love my children.
I have no children.
I have no man.
I can’t love a man.
I have no god, my god is dead.
I have no friends, my friends are dead.
I have no hope, my hope is dead.
I have no peace, my peace is dead.
