The Slave (Free verse) by Bhaskaryya
With a plough in his tired hand,
A slave's eyes wander across the hired land
And rests over the lass fair in the end,
Rapt by the sight of the sun, on her golden hair descend.
A soft dream overshadows that weary eye,
But he looks away with a dreary sigh,
For he has learned to yield to fate,
Life for him is a ride from field to crate.
