Dear General


Dear General,

The idea of freedom in the revolution is getting weary

Britain plunders forward…. presented as tyranny

They enforce unreasonable laws upon this land

Making the colonist people take a stand!

 

Your Excellency,

Doesn't all man deserve freedom?

To be allowed to gain any wisdom?

No matter if you're white or black we will strike back to claim what we lack

...Freedom...

Will freedom charms be unfold for our descendants?

So us negro slaves will gain independence!

 

Your Excellency,

Freedom is only just a dream

Because there more between the seams

Though africa is my home

and way of my own way to freedom

 Dispensation of civil and religious Liberty,

Will be treated like a mystery

Because no one want to deal with the main facts and cause of the acts that come with it..

            As man becomes less solicitous for Freedom, slavery is a grand feast for the wealthy

But they don't see Beast between them

 

So Your Excellency,

Let our Lady Columbia bring forth her rain

Too bring freedom...end the pain

So your excellency once you gain freedom what you become? A politician?

So like a Egyptian soon to be Forgotten

Like slavery inscriptions to bring forth the abolition!”
