The Underground Railroad 'slavery'

The way is the underground They say If you runaway we'll you ground The scary ,weak black kitten Couldn't step,it is harshly beaten The days are dark nights The rays are dark lights The shining northern star of hope Is the guide ,a freedom rope The way is the underground The kitten's fugitive ghost is around The kitten lost its whiskers It is weak her eyes are on the paws The kitten frost but it whispers I still have these sharp claws The shelter was the uncle's cabin, Tom Whenever there is a lantern,it'd be our home The way is the underground Perilous it is,but the black kitten is still resisting around
