my apologies Ed, but you touched something inside me with "Inkydot"

Created as an equal
in His image.
Born to bondage,
forced to serve a man
who thinks himself a god.
Imposing his will
upon the life of another
A man unloving,
eyes unseeing,
heart untouched by the Light.
Self-proclaimed master, or slave to darkness?
In the end,
which one is truly free?

My daughter selected this poem as one she wanted to me to read to her. She is 12 years old, but has wisdom beyond her years. She recently did a paper on this topic at school. She and I were very touched by your beautiful verse. Thank you.

Wow -- I'm truly impressed, both by your response and by the poem that expresses it so well.

You do me honor, and I appreciate it. Like I said in my poem, I never knew then how important he was, or would come to be, for those very reasons.
