Humane

You may call slaves by many names

 

But calling them inhuman or inferior seems a bit off

 

 

Everyone has its own path

 

There are those that lead and others that are led

 

 

Living for another’s satisfaction is a beautiful thing

 

To be explored, used, abused

 

To accept losing everything for the benefit of others

 

 

To feel content on a naked body dressed in shackles

 

Holding on to nothing but the desire to serve

 

To be at that place to fulfill the needs of his Master

 

Whatever those may be

 

For as long as He desires

 

 

Being humane is to care

 

And a slave cares for no worldly goods, other than his Master

 

Not even for himself

 

Sacrificing everything for that choice of servitude

 

 

So how can you call him inhuman

 

When he shows the best that he will ever be

 

 

And even if he stands beneath Your feet

 

That place is occupied because he chose to

 

Inferior towards You

 

But not against all the rest

 

 

And as for the Master

 

The one that cares for nothing other than himself

 

That beats and tortures for his own pleasure

 

Is the human or inhuman

 

 

Perhaps inhuman

 

Something closer to a beast

 

If He only looks with his eyes closed

 

Ignoring that who stands beneath him

 

 

But if you do open them

 

You will see the heavy load weighting on him, waiting to be taken out

 

How much his thorns hurt, waiting to be plucked

 

How much poison runs through his veins, waiting to be bled

 

How cold he feels, without a set of chains to warm him

 

How thirsty he is, without something to drink

 

 

How can one look and not act

 

When no one else has the strength to do it

 

When no one else has the will to do it

 

When there is no one else for him

 

And no one else that he wants to ease his torment but You

 

 

How can you call yourself humane

 

When he is there

 

For You

 

And You leave him to suffer all alone

 

 

How can you call yourself inhumane

 

When you are willing to spend your time

 

Making him feel human

 

Giving him something to fight for

 

Something to cherish

 

Something to keep
