I am Slave

I am Slave

A Poem by Mike Wolfe
"

We're held in chains. We strive for more. For freedom. But there is only one key to the locks.

"

On your knees, beg you piece of trash

You’re a fool, you can’t break those chains

No matter how hard you can thrash

 

I am Slave

 

Taste the whip and hit the ground hard

Now salt the wounds and watch them bleed

You will be left shattered and scarred.

 

I am Slave

 

There is no where you can go hide

Surrender and stop your struggle

You’re defeated and dead inside

 

I am Slave

 

Who is the man that comes my way?

Another tormentor or worse?

His gaze makes evil look away.

 

I am Slave

 

Look away slave! Your hope is gone!

He cannot save you, not from us

You will not see another dawn

 

I am Slave

 

The man turns and he looks at me

I have never seen love like his

He is the one who makes blind see

 

I am Slave

 

Evil turns on him with hatred

They let their whips fly on his back

I hate seeing him degraded

 

I am Slave

 

He falls to the sand, back bleeding

He was taking the whip for me.

I can’t watch, evil is succeeding

 

I am Slave

 

His chest stops rising. Cold and dead

Evil cheers at the hero’s fall

But then I see him lift his head

 

I am Slave

 

Evil can’t believe what it sees

He’s conquered evil and death

He did all this to make me free

 

I am Free

 

Evil decides to turn and run

I can’t believe what has happened.

And this is all thanks to the Son

 

I AM FREE!
