had never had it so good
good provider all along
gave me shelter and food
not complained for so long

but my life is not of my own
being controlled at his whims
slavery here right at home
to do things that please him

    A lot of people feel the way you do about this! Freedom under law still has its restrictions.
    Love the image, and the thoughts you shared.

    Such a heartrending picture! Bob Dylan sings, "You gotta serve somebody." Why should the non-human species have to subscribe to our ways?

    We are all locked into this trap one way or another.
