WBeat him until he submits
He heard one of the men say
As he stands naked chained to a wall
Taken from his home
When he was 10 years old
Sold
Now he is a slave to his owners
Bought for hard labor
Boug&t for sex and other nasty games
Now at age 13
He knows the gsme
They beat him
Until he does what they want
This has gone on for years
His skin is laced with scars
Bruised
Bones have been broken at times
All in an effort
To make him bend
To their will
He has tried escaping
They found him
They beat him bloody for it
He is kept in a small room
Handkuffed to his bed
To prevent him from
Escaping again
He is fed little
The room he stays in
Is dirty to say the least
He prays fo rescue
His salty tears
Sting as they cross his wounds
He prays for others like him
Someday
His rescue will come
Someday

This poem relates to a lot of circumstances in life. Thanks for writing.
Welcome
This painted a horrible picture in my head...Is this a story or do you know someone going thru this or was it you? Please tell me this is not a personal poem
This kind of stuff happens all over the world, just shining a little light on a dark subject
Fortunately there is less of this than 150 years ago. I can't imagine having a slave. Very graphic and nicely done.
Thank you,
