The Hum of a Slave
March 1, 2012
They hummed to attempt mutiny
They later hummed to keep the peace,
They hummed when they were lonely
And they hummed for something heavenly,
They hummed so they could keep sane
They hummed to try and ease the pain,
They hummed to fill the void-
They hummed to pretend they weren't a slave.
