An Orc's day dream

Feel bad for the little guy

Body pale green 

tinted with black

Palms like muddy terrain

Bruised back

Just a simple peon

Serving King Kel'thu'zhad

Work or be extinguished 

Slave to the coal mines

Mining pick my companion

Orc'ish speak it not'

Not a single friend

For Kel'thu'zhad make it their end

I'm lonely and tired, there's

No love in the life of an Orc

Just work, work, work

Around the clock

If I ever escaped

I'd like to travel the land

Maybe become a minstrel

Join the musical caravan 

I'd like to fall in love

With a human girl

Protect her and 

Provide her the world

Who am I kidding

I'm just an Orc

Even dreaming such dreams

Results in my head chopped off

Oh but the thought

Of a milk maid by my side

Living in a barn 

Creating new life 

"As a whip hits my back" - GET BACK TO WORK SLAVE 

I must dream no more

Slack shall I not

Mine for lord Kel'thu'zhad

Be gone useless thoughts

A tear rolls down 

My pale green skin

Dries up along the cracks

I'm just an Orc, as I fade to black.

I thought orcs were mighty bloodthirsty warriors. Points for originality if i'm right. It's good for only 5 minutes. Interesting thoughts on how an enslaved orc must feel

[KeeD]

They are warriors too, I guess I perceive them as slaves to their respected crafts, some to war and brutality some to the mines and hard labor. Never having free will always serving someone else.

Yeah, being an orc must suck!
