Breaking the Chains

21 million

Oppressed, persecuted, taken advantage of

Chained daily to the threat of violence

Silenced into powerlessness 

Yet, who knows?

Like an underground network

Lured into a tunnel of darkness

Not just a thing of the past

Slavery spreads like a deadly virus 

Today.

Here.

So what would I change?

People would know

Awareness of modern day slavery 

Spreading as rampantly as the virus itself

Revealing the brothels

Identifying the traffickers's rings

Curing the disease with education

In schools, in workplaces

In the hearts of every citizen 

We can break the chains of the 21 million

Not one more child

Being born into a world containing slavery

The freedom of knowledge
