The Transient Value of Slaves

even today it does concern me so 🤍

The Transient Value of Slaves

 

It does concern me greatly, to think what might become of thee

when your fingers

eventually callous and can no longer knead the course flour for

   your masters daily bread ..

Yes, it does worry me so to think what might become of thee

when your fingers freeze

and you can no longer twist, or weave quickly and so skilfully,

the fine silver thread,

your master desires, for his new blouson and breeches, or the

white cotton sheets you

place daily upon his four poster bed .. It fears me greatly and it

fills me with dread, to think

what shall happen to thee, when he tires of this pretty young

   slave girl like so many before ..
