Society Of Slavery Comments

Thank you James, and, if you read carefully, it is also about his own self-defeating self-enslaving commitment to sin.

Passionately you write of another sad example..........of.......Man's inhumanity to Man!

The thought of slavery today is sickening but that reaction hasn't been around for very long and slavery is condoned by neglect when it suits society. See what the news reported even this week from India. Biblical law is strict on the matter: slaves not only had to be treated decently even if they were taken in battle but they could not be separated from their spouses and had to be freed after a certain period. If the slave refused to leave he had to have his ear pinned to the doorpost as if the law is saying you have turned down your God-given right to freedom and this is the result: you have chained yourself to this family. This poem is strong and bitter, and the title is well chosen.

Sometimes I don't even think that they ever intended to take slavery away although I know they did. The sadest part of this world is that there are so many people that don't seem to even want to use their key anymore.
