THE HAPPY SLAVE
Comrade Edmund Eruaga Esq 1977 (Benin)
The respirate straps of a rider
The speed of a willing horse ready to be cut loose
The riders contentment
The straps of a bleeding horse, that can never be forgotten.
Here her body was a mass of bruises
But yet to be forgotten soon and a scar to always remember her master's.
In all these , a pain to be beared alone.
all in that same straps made by the master's.
To the last of her breath .
