SLAVERY


SLAVERY(by Irusota) Through the North they came And fled through the South Through the dancing Sahara Across the shores of Africa They came with horses and raid our land Taken us to a foreign land With bond of chains slashed on our arm All intended to do us harm And a big rope tied to our hands As we marched to a strange Land Our culture they battered And our mother's they murdered Death rewards those who disobeyed And so we marched without delay Bruises full of blood on our face As the masters increased their pace And eyes were blinded with the dust With some pools of blood Our children taken away on a ship and were sold as a slave We were robbed And our women raped From the evil masters who maimed We were taken and captured And daily we were tortured They came and stole our history With nothing left but pain and misery Some were murdered and our children cried The world became silent even when we died. @IrusotaSAN(Dated the 12th Day Of December, 2017) in commemoration of
