Ancestral spirits – Enslaved Woman

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.
