Across the wastes

Across the wastes, I walk in chains,
 Pulled at both hand and feet
 Fainting in the endless heat
 My limbs are bound as puppet’s reins.

I glance ahead, and see the line
 Of those who’s fate I share
 And well note the golden chains they wear
 Bound as kin, all affine.

I stop and give my chains a jerk
 Behind, children strive to keep pace
 For in this endless lineal race
 All are bound, so none may shirk.

Our destination is unknown
 Our leadership, a mystery
 But tied are we by blood and history
 We each must walk, bound and alone.
