Poetic Verses
The Path
At this time of the year in the Caribbean its the season
Where there can be the chances of being hit by a tropical depression
Many may start just in the region of the African coast, an emulation
Of the path taken by the slavers, coming this direction
Yes we the descendants of those African slaves
Whose ancestors were move in ships riding those Atlantic waves
But the mystery is that how such a weather system
Can take that path, to bring upon us such destruction
How those masters beat them so mercilessly
Exhibiting that dominance, because of slavery
Those systems with winds of such high velocity
Could leave a trail of damage, that impacted financially
Just as slavery brought on such hurt and pain
The damage of the hurricane also bring on the same
And in that era they had at all no say, in that day
They too have that effect on us in the same way
But what is true this can be said about a disaster
Will not differentiate between,rich poor, slave or master
But in such a case we are updated so that we can make preparations
Then we then wait, in such nervous and anxious anticipation
Up to now people are still asking this question
Is there some form of historical magnetic attraction
The they seem so very attracted to our shores
To vent that fury on us, like in those days of yore
