Contradiction


(poems go here) The blood of a slave makes so much money, Even if sold by my own blackness, Ive watched these South Sudan vessels since the 3rd milenium, Blood pumped through Bahr el Ghazal, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, 18th century Kenyan slave blood flowed more identifying with Muslim blood, Blood of a Muslim leaked onto the tribes of war, My tribal leader of Kenya sold the blood of a slave for beads and metal goods, Blood shipped to that same Muslim blood, European doctors stopped selling trying to make me stop, I grew richer with the help of Muslim Blood till 1847.
