a land of milk and honey Art and craft, cowries as money gods and kings, elephant tusk held with attitude goddess and queens in beads glorified in lofty magnitude _______________________________________ Until came afar to our sultry shore strange color of men and sorts Then our brothers became pillars of salts Chains adorned their neck and feet In grief we sailed or their bullet thy beat Our blood stains turn wall bricks in a white man's home Ploughing and tilling the field that a white man own _______________________________________ They parted our loved ones and families Summer and winter we worked in 100 degrees Crown'd us as negros and figures we never campaigned Hundreds of whip to the bare flesh in fears we died 300 years of woes, pain and suffering 300 years our ancestors survived the tears and tribulations _________________________________________ Our first parent they sold and slayed One unhappy race, from curses be plagued Unto slavery heroes breed Until the war against slavery Lincoln waged victor.c 3 Likes 1 Share |
