Breeder Of slaves

"Breeder Of Slaves" I leaped for joy in mother's womb, When t'was my time to be born Yepee! Mother is labour I'll finally get to see the world. . From my creator, I received specific instructions On my mission in the cosmos. I was coming for a purpose, Pregnant with the future! . When I finally came forth, I wept and wailed the loudest I could. I sharpened the cadence of my tiny chords Until symphony of my reverberation filled the room. . This' my first cry, it sure will be my last For 9 whole month I longed for this freedom I'm free at last! Little did I know that this 'freedom' is only the prologue To endless tears, sorrow and pain. . This 'freedom' is bondage! I was born in chains, Espoused to a world of pain. I was born a slave! . I came as child number 8 Birthed to a confined space Born as a prey, I was called a mistake! . Every cold night, with each passing day My little sackless mind's plagued With questions far bigger than my age Daddy why!.. make this deliberate mistake? . From one down to number eight Yet you had not even a dime in place You turned your libido to a cave where slaves are made. And gave back nothing other than your surname. . I inhale pain, I exhale hate I hate life, I hate fate I hate.. even my own name! I wish that someday things would change and I'll be able to wear a real smile just like my mates. . Rarely awhile, eight hungry pale claws Converge to feed from same plate Eating 'the last supper' i'ld say It's done in haste, like a race Cos this plate, might not be stained till a donkey's days. . Now mother's pregnant again Another slave's on the way! Daddy, you've made the same mistake yet again Another innocent prey's coming to join this endless chain of slaves. . Since your libido can not be tamed And to you, life's merely a game Of preying chained slave to your name If I were to give you a name, I'll just call you a "breeder of slaves" Emmanuel Momoh © April 2019.
