'One mouth and one back to two hands,' is the law <br />That the hand of his Maker has stamped upon man; <br />But Slavery lays on God's image her paw, <br />And fixes him out on a different plan;- <br />Two mouths and two backs to two hands she creates; <br />And the consequence is, as she might have expected; <br />Let the hands do their best, upon all her estates, <br />The mouths go half fed, and the backs half protected.<br /><br />John Pierpont<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/economy-of-slavery/
