Bitter Slave Poem by S. I. Rednow

Bitter Slave



When families fight and will not speak
Or lasting peace they will not seek
Upon a death they'll fight no more
And then they'll ask what was it for
More bitterness must not be sown
It serves no good as time has shown
To mend your soul and bind the beast
Bless the one who earns it least
Forgiveness then becomes the host
For those you know that need it most
Set free the slave if you so choose
So angry chains you start to lose

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
You have one family. Make it work. When they're gone it's too late and we wonder then, was it worth it? Sometimes it means being the bigger person.
