ndo nilikuwa nataka nianze kuandika shairi hapa,Kwa hisani ya Chatgpt....
The House of Slavery
Beneath the heavens vast and wide,
Lies the House of Slavery, where shadows hide.
Its walls tower higher than the sky,
Chained hopes, once free, now barely sigh.
The doors groan with memories untold,
As time grows weary, rusting the bold.
The wind weeps through the hollow halls,
A silent scream that never falls.
Hope is a flicker, faint and frail,
A distant star behind a veil.
Yet within this place of endless night,
There’s a spark, a whisper of light.
The House stands cold, yet never dies,
Though freedom whispers from the skies.
It could not be crueler than the frost,
Yet mankind’s strength is never lost.
For even here, where light is thin,
The soul still finds a way to win.
Literary Devices:
- Hyperbole: “Its walls tower higher than the sky” – Exaggeration to emphasize the imposing nature of the House of Slavery.
- Metaphor: “Chained hopes” – Hopes are compared to being chained, symbolizing how they are imprisoned or oppressed.
- Litotes: “It could not be crueler than the frost” – Understatement to emphasize how harsh the House of Slavery is.
- Personification: “The wind weeps” – The wind is given human qualities of weeping, portraying the sorrow felt within the house.

The House of Slavery
In the House of Slavery, the sun never shines,
Its iron heart beats with sorrow’s rhymes.
The walls breathe anger, high and grim,
Where hope drowns in shadows, cold and dim.
The chains that bind are heavier than the earth,
Each step a lifetime’s weight, from birth.
The wind speaks softly, but none dare hear,
It carries tales of forgotten fear.
Through barred windows, a dream flickers weak,
Like a fading ember too tired to speak.
Yet still, it stirs in silence, deep,
A longing that refuses to sleep.
The House groans, old but never still,
Its grip tightens against the will.
Yet in the depths where light is rare,
Freedom lingers, like a breath of air.
Though the chains are endless, they will break,
For the soul’s strength none can take.
