Slavery
SlaveryFor centuries and backSlavery's been at treatIf you had servants and slavesThen you would be considered richNow we know it's wrongNeglecting rights out of rageMaking them feel like dogs in a cageWe know you've been taught no betterWe know you've been shown not to careBut now shouldn't you know better?Shouldn't you know better than to unleash your filthy dogs on Africans?Shouldn't you know better than to treat us with acrimony and atrociously? And shouldn't you know better than to suppress their values? We would like to thank all the Blacks out thereWho decided to carry on fightsWho chose to die for rightsAnd coalesceThere spirits bright in the nightNo shadows would give them frightFor they know they are bellwethersMagnanimous beingsAnd on Thursday February 1stTill the sunrise on Wednesday February 28thOur African Heroes are celebratedIn ebullient ways for these men and womenTheir acumen, charisma, and compassionTheir understanding and do-good This is our historyWe are proudThis is our cultureWe sing aloudBlack now, Black forever Peace20/11/17
