4 hundred's of years they have been afraid of US...5/12/22




    
          Four hundreds of years the tears you caused has caused my pen to leak
scribed words from the herds of ancestors that did not survive tri-angular trade's ride;

Many of nights I've dreamed
of the quiet cries
from diluted eyes
as they contemplated jumping overboard
while shackled to others unwilling to try;

So I devise a surprise
to unchain me from their sides
and in that moment I dive…

From the starboard side and surprise…
Somehow I survived;

Four hundreds of years
perspired  sweet and blood drenched the earth
that grew cotton and provisions,
our ancestor's sweet and blood fertilized America
yet and still they are afraid of US…
