The Slave

                                       Born a slave to a man,
                                       shackled by his chain.
                                       Obeying his command,
                                       his shouts in my brain.

                                       Day and night,
                                       working the land,
                                       all my might,
                                       wearing his brand.

                                       The richer he gets
                                       the poorer I become.
                                       Losing my wits
                                       as he's beating his drum.

                                       No talking to the man,
                                       he obeys the worldview.
                                       Right or wrong not the plan,
                                       relativism is true.

                                       Misery is his name,
                                       I know him well.
                                       My name is the same,
                                       together we dwell.

                                       Yes, I am a slave
                                       to a world torn apart,
                                       to an upside-down crave,
                                       to a man without heart.
