"...owners amused"

Showgirls or Captive Women playing chess. 

This between acts at the "Latin Quarter" in 1958.

Future historians will view this as an image of Slaves.

Captive 20th century wage, and sex slaves.

Future texts will say,...

"Unlike Slaves of the 17th through 19th centuries. 

American Slaves in the 20th, and 21st 

were owned by corporations. 

Who unlike the earlier masters did not feed or house them.

Rather they were paid a small wage. 

This which kept many roughly housed, and clothed.

Carefully tailored food kept these obese, and dull.

This form of insidious Slavery lasted well into the 22nd century."

"Valued Slaves were paid a far larger wage. 

This gave them the illusion of freedom. 

Such amused their owners."
