Young Slave 2

poem by: Tony Anderson
Written on Jul 19, 2016

"Beat him until he submits"
He heard one of the men say
As he stands naked chained to a wall

Taken from his home 
When he was 10 years old
Sold 
Now he is a slave to his owners
Bought for hard labor
Bought for sex and other nasty games

Now at the age of 13
He knows the game
They beat him
Until he does what they tell him to
This has gone on for years

His skin laced with scares
Buised
Bones have even been broken at times
All in an effort
To make him bend
To their will

He has tried escaping
The found him
They beat him bloody for it

He is kept in a small room
Handcuffed to a bed 
To prevevent him from 
Escaping again

He is fed little
The room he stays in
Is dirty to say the least

He prays for rescue
His salty tears
Sting as they cross his wounds
He prays for others like him

Someday 
His recue will come
Someday
This madness will end
Someday
