Modern Day Slavery

Imagine yourself as a slave
Living in a dark cave.
The master is like a beast
Beating you and violence increased. .

The cave is dark as sky in midnight,
And the exist is not within sight.
Imagine your self in that cave your trapped
And fear like a fist your body snapped.
No rescuer would help even the brave.
Imagine that birth you gave
Because  by the master you were raped
And death is a penality if you escaped.
Imagine that your child was left to die
Would the eyes stop their cry?

In Mauritania, a women we can't see
Is being enslaved, yet without a fee.
Her face resembles sympathy,
But few cared and others responded with apathy.
She is one of many,
So I want you to help with even a penny.
Put yourself in their place
And their struggles imagine that you face.
If it touched your heart
Do something before slavery breaks them apart.
