My Humming Word

Bonded labour – domestic,
agricultural and industrial,
a curse on the human rights,
individual liberty and dignity.

A human soul in a dire need
compromises and borrows,
in return, one has to pledge
his or her own body and soul.

One works for entire life
in lieu of liabilities accrued
and yet the principal remains
for his or her kin to be paid.

Life of a bonded labourer is
often worse than an animal
that may lack food and shelter
but has choice to freely move.
