Judge not the victims
innocence clearly
Hard working slave driven
true dedication
how were they treated
with dire castigation
abandoned and beaten
there was no salvation
lying together
suffering so
from the evil of man
his conduct on show
transgressing and sinful
perverted depraved
abandoned these beauties
who were thankfully saved
venal and bribable
a mercenary
so vile to the innocent
who should walk free
How they struggled and
slaved all their days
in the sun
rewarded with an axe
And what had they done
hacked off the skin
imagine the pain
what might be the reason
this man was insane
disrespecting these angels
he neglected and left
this despicable human
He had been so bereft
such humiliation
a pitiless fool
Who trashed these two souls
and who broke every rule
how they had worked
every sinew was terribly taut
aching, you beat them
without any thought
i hope when you give yourself up
you will be
ready to serve time
For an eternity.
