Tomorrow's Property of the Rich and Powerful
Reasons to be Angry - Part 2 - An Acrostic
Servitude enforced, whether for sex, domestics, cons, crime, labour or war
Little ones, older ones, females and males, foreigners trapped in foreign lands, people the most prized commodity, for the most despicable
All enslaved, without choice, all forgotten, without voice
Versions and variations exist throughout the world
Endlessly hopeless situations. where life and death is in the balance
Reality hurts, the truth is painful, the lies conveninent, the fascade comforting
Yesterday's displaced, stolen, or thrown away garbage humans, are tomorrow's property of the rich and powerful.

Thanks for reading.
I know this is not a cheerful or inspiring piece, but I've got a lot of anger about certain things in the world that I can do very little about, so I am going to express that anger this way - poetically. This is the second part of my Reasons to be Angry series. You can check out the first part here:
You can also, if so inclined, take a look at some other pieces I recently published, like:
