Mine Slave - The Dark Side of Ancient Light [Haiku



Mine Slave - The Dark Side of Ancient Light [Haiku & History]


 Life in the light deny
 Moving closer to Hades
 Inching day by day

There were ancient slaves who were like family members, but there were slaves whose youth were wasted away in the mines, extracting precious metals, usually for a king or city, who often hire a contractor to supply the labor. This contractor could harness and hire large amounts of slaves for major projects. In many ways, the ancient world was built on the backs of slaves.
