Poetry and MusicA Slaves Life

They say go and I goThey say do this and I do itThey say gather and I gatherThey say sow and I sow For I am but a common slave andThey a cruel and capricious master

Who cares nothing if I live or dieFor my daughters are like sheep and goatsAnd my sons like camels and oxenAll my children in the fieldsAre bent by this burdenAnd bear the rod of the taskmaster

And at night by the firesAmid the smoke from the smoldering potsI pray to the Lord who is my freedomAnd my deliveranceWhose reach is greater than the NileAnd whose bounty flows more freely
