Ill-suited for leadership |
|
Nature bestowed her foulest pigmentation upon them much like a scar |
|
It accompanies them to their nameless grave |
|
On these malaria ridden vessels |
|
A love affair between slaves and sugar |
|
The ones who managed to escape |
|
Dove like cormorants into the Atlantic |
|
Ducats, Cowries, Reals or Silver Pesos |
|
No currency denied in these ports |
|
Beggary becomes a far fetched luxury |
|
The world of noose justice |
|
It accompanies them to their nameless grave |
|
On these malaria ridden vessels |
|
A love affair between slaves and sugar |
|
Unwanted coexistence |
|
Too drained to cry, too shamed to pray |
|
Ducats, Cowries, Reals, or Silver Pesos |
|
No currency denied in these ports |
|
Beggary becomes a far fetched luxury |
|
The world of noose justice |
|
Exemplary behavior is worthless when |
|
Their crime is genetic |
|
Skin becomes hard leather |
|
Disfigured by torrid irons |
|
Immeasurable cruelty |
|
Only man knows how to inflict |
