I am a serf, <br />Weakest in the Land of Not. <br />I am a slave to all, <br />From the lowest serpent <br />To the loftiest dream. <br /> <br />I am a serf. <br />I and my kind stand like men, <br />But oft this is only an illusion. <br />Because we stand not together, <br />We stand not at all. <br /> <br />I am a serf. <br />I live blind, def, and dumb; <br />In ignorance and fear of the truth. <br />Not because I can't, <br />But because I won't have it any other way. <br /> <br />I am a serf, <br />Redeemable only because <br />I'm all that there is. <br />But for only as long, <br />As I'm all that there is. <br /> <br />I am a serf, <br />I and my kind are producers. <br />All things made, <br />Great and small, <br />Come from my ranks.<br /><br />Steven SRS<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-serf/
