A slave is a child

Originally someone's child
forever someone's kind
holding on to an heritage
representing a lineage
they deserve love and joy
amidst wicked plots and ploy

Coming through the canal of a mother
bearing the mark of a father
sibling to one or the other
hero of a clan without border
liking the pains as he grows older
having no choice till hereafter

place and distance may change
love and name may be altered
portion may not come as claimed
the labour may not stop the pains
the child remains rusty resilient

taking abuses of all forms a as regular dose
mothers look on as doors close
the one who watches over ophans assumes a father's role as the body heart or soul may find rest in a hole
yet a slave remains someone's hope
