Masters and slaves

Tweet

In the United States of America lies a large industrial city. A site of one of the worlds largest slave labor camps. Near the center are community settlements where slaves live. Each morning, people move "herd -like" from these quarters into the industrial camp. each one is in his or her station by 7:30 AM. Here, they report to their master for their days duties. Then they remain chained until 5:00PM when theyb are released. They have no choice on how many hours they must labor - sometimes they are required to work overtime, until their master tells them when they may leave. Each year, they are told when they can take their vacation, for how long, and when they must return. They have little choice as to how much money they earn. They are allowed very little time for coffee and lunch breaks during these labor hours. They remain in their chains with great fear becouse the masters can punish them with the "lay-off" whip. Day by day, year by year they toil until the master decides that it is time for them to stop working. He then releases them to the retirement camps, where they are forced to sit idle and wait for death. It's a well know fact that the old slaves that try to work are sometimes whipped with the "stop your pension" whip. I know these slave camps realy exist for I work in one 5 days a week. I want to be a free man who lives among the slaves. I want to be in business for my self where I can be truely free. I want to rise in the morning called for by my schedule. I want to decide my own hours; even sleep in late while the slaves are at work. I want to vacation when, where , and for how long I please. I want to be free to take my coffee and lunch break when I decdide and of course decide my own paycheck. I want to choose to work when and where I please and with whom I please. I want to be free to stay in the city as long as I want or to move on to greener pastures if I decide to. I have seen many slaves sadly pack their belonging (I am one of them) to leave the city in search of a new master. Thanks to my new friend Old Buddy and his posts here on Mylot, there is a ray of hope for the slave. He or She can buy his or her own freedom. The cost is not high, yet it seams high to those who dont have the courage to pay the price. You ask what is the price? One must be willing to be ones own master. Thank you Old buddy for your knowlage and strearing us in the rite direction. I am greatful and look for more from you in the future
