I was walking on the ship
A ship that was owned by my Uncle
I'm here because my mother and father died.
No, where I go, I only knew my parents and my uncle.
One day I wore a dazzling white dress
This dress this my favorite
Because it makes me look like, princess and bride
Not only that
This is the last gift I received before my parents died
That's why it's so priceless to me
And very important
But suddenly something happened
Something bumped into me
And I feel something spill on my tummy
And when I saw
A, a plate is still yet stuck on my clothing
Hey, look what you've done to me!
I said to a child slave
And make a scene
This slave is so bold
She bumps into me
She never says sorry
Unknowingly that she is a mute
I say speaking in a loud voice
But she agitated and cry, bowing to me
After that incident
I go away to make myself cooler
Because I feel hot
And also the weather is so hot
Like I'm in a desert
I walk and walk
I go up and up until I arrive at the highest part
But while I was waking
I feel someone
Is in my behind
When I arrive at the highest part
I decided to see if someone is there
Then a familiar shadow
Little by little go near to me
Then suddenly stop after one meter away from me
I little by little see up who is that
It turns out it's uncle...
I ask him why he's following me
But he answered him in a poetic way
He said:
Look down, look down
Look down on the slaves
Do you see them?
Do you think they want to become a slave?
No one gonna knows
No one...
Freely or forcely
Maybe this is a fate
Or destined
If something or someone is for you
It is for you
It will happen to you
Remember don't judge others by what you see
Because our eyes were full of sore
Everything we saw can deceive us
Even what we hear
The only thing we rely on
Is our sense
Our sense of truth and lie
Don't say anything that makes others hurt
Especially if they didn't do bad
Or make a mistake
Put yourself into their shoes
Imagine that you are a slave
Imagine that you've made a mistake
Then they didn't accept your sorry
They didn't give a chance to you to speak or to defend yourself
So you become a pity
Like a mere slave that you despise
Because of your mere clothes
Did you embarrass them?
Clothes are just a clothes
Life is more precious than it
They say...
We only live once
You're considered as lucky
If you experience near-death experience
And live for a second time
Think first before you take an action
Remember, remember
Remember everything I tell
Yes, I will not forget any or each word you've tell to me
I said to him
At night...
I go to the slave's facilities, secretly
Their eyes become bigger
When they see me
When I go near to them
They shiver and become aggressive to avoid to me
Don't I'm here not to make a scene
Instead, I want to make peace
With each of you
Especially to that kid
That spoiled food in here
Come, come to me
I want to say sorry to you
I realize my wrong
I am a literate person
But I act illiterately
I become look like
Lower than the slave
Because of that manner
That I've shown to you
They accept my apology
And I hug them
From then I treat them well
And check if they are well
In the end...we became a family
Especially when after my uncle died
Then I am the one who looks after the ship
Now that I have my own family
I treat them as one too
I ask them also for some advice sometimes
And have a bonding time with them with my family.
The End
