Slavery It Is!

They said slavery took men who were strong in their physical features to do series of repetitive, menial, and sometimes unsafe tasks for their slave masters. The incentives I overstand were food, somewhere to stay and perhaps bonus if they were able to procreate new slave kids 

Now in this free world, employers take men who’re smart enough to satisfy their need for manpower, but take heed, you also have to be dumb enough to finish off whatever they feed you, otherwise you won’t stay long.

They’ll wittingly take your social and family time, your individuality and even your creativeness for a ride. So you’ll be there working clueless and some of us do it with style; for a “salary” that always reminds you of a bad joke; doesn't reflect the true value of what you put in; not to speak of how short it is at reconciling your bills. Shit’s like taking up one trouble to solve other troubles…. 

Don’t get me wrong, if you’re working to make a living, just do it, I respect that. As a matter of fact a job is what all of us wish to have after graduation; and sometimes it sucks to find one, because employers will either bend on hiring experienced people or set the qualification requirements way to high.

In spite of that, I’ll have to ask…How’s slavery different from today’s free world employment; if all that the employee does is to dutifully help the employer build his empire for an ‘offering’ in return, just like the slave?

Oh! Hold on a second, maybe there is a difference. The slave was forced into it, but the employee labours of his own free will …..? Me, I don’t want that, in fact I just don’t want to own a small amount of Benjamins, I want to be self-made like Benjamin Franklin himself; and if anyone of my facebook friends have dreams and wishes like that, may they come true..
