Be Slave !!!



Be slave to your pen  
You could write your future

Be helot to your thoughts
You could deliver something good

Be bondsman to your knowledge
You could be tenterhook for others   

Be bondservant to your accomplishment
You could be the inspiration and legacy

Be serf to your ideas
You could well spread your message  

Be vassal to your achievements
You could prove to be a milestone

Be odalisque to your tongue
You could win the others’ heart

Be thrall to your eyes
You could become a torch bearer   

Be bondslave to your teacher
You could submerse in the ocean of knowledge

Be hierodule to your mother
You could never need an intangible God  

Be an internee to Talib
You could always be away from ego
