A Poem on Slavery and Freedom, Obligation and Duty

It is by our freedom
that we are bound
It is our liberty
forces us

Know thy obligations
Know thy dissipation
is nothingness
a betrayal of obligations past
fulfilled

A slave excuses himself
a slave excuses herself
being forced into wickedness and destruction

Which man, which woman
would choose to make himself
would choose to make herself
a slave?
