Noorie Ali - A Slave

A slave is an eye, a look.
A slave is a voice, a tongue.
A slave is a brain, a thought.
A slave is a lover, a giver.
A slave is a brave soldier, or girl.
A slave is a sacrifice.
A slave is big, or small.
A slave is rich, or poor.
A slave is a hand, a hold.
A slave is a key, a door.
A slave is a bird, a song.
A slave is a foot, a walk
A slave is a shelter, a home.
A slave is a mask, of sadness.
A slave is an empty pool of tears.
A slave is patient.
A slave is strong.
A slave is just a slave.
A slave is anything, but nothing.
