Oh, the pain! Please let me go!
By the twisting of my arms
And plastics around my wrists
Choking blood to my hands
Hardworking to earn a life
Now dead weights and shriveled off
Oh, the pain! Please get off me!
By the monkey on my back
And long fangs into my flesh
Sucking upon my life force
Whipping hard by master’s stick
Now broken beyond repair
Oh, the price: blood, sweat and tears!
By the power of G-d’s grace
His small electronic cards
Savings beyond nil, nada
Waiting game – a hide and seek
Now temporarily free
A ‘last minute collection’ of three, six-lined stanzas with seven syllables.
