Slavery all around

Now that I've been learning more, my mind opened and heart broken, I see it everywhere.
Though you do not see red-light districts of open brothels everywhere, it is here.
We are among a hidden red-light district.
Slavery is everywhere, but what really gets to me even more than the ignorance of the victims is how....
We enslave oursleves.
I see it when a random guy stares me down with a degrading lust.
I see it among all the girls enslaving their own selves to constant need for relationships.
I see it walking in the stores and every other time I swipe that piece of plastic.
Or when we have to have that drink to ease our mind.
Or when we pretend we really are victims but we are really just digging for that compliment for satisfaction.
People are vicitimized and enslaved daily but we just give ourselves away to things that do not last or fulfill.
We fill our lives up with busyness and enslave ourselves to our level of performance.
We are slaves to our programs.
Slaves to our agendas.

Why do we let this happen?
Hope for freedom.
Walk in that.
