I walked to the store. I am a slave.
I idled in the rows of shelves. I am a slave.
I brought out my debit card. I am a slave.
I purchased food for my children. I am a slave.
A man gawked at me in the street and I hurried away. I am a slave.
I saw myself in a store window, a woman. I am a slave.
I depend on my husband's income, and the monthly payment from our Lord and masters.
I am a slave.
One day, these shackles will fall.
