Zong

Cruelly full of slaves The basement was used Of Zong, the damn ship Of the bloody transshipment The coast of the tiny Island of São Tomé On the shores of West Africa At full throttle, to the island of Jamaica Zong, the damn ship Began its surfing And the total of thirty-three Was the throng vassal To the Atlantic coastlines abyss Most cruel captain sent shoot Was it not the outbreak deleterious Willingly, then To the sea, It fell down an angry ten! With grilhtetas tied at the ankles Oh God, how horrible and brutal While the Atlantic, with its own eyes Saw the deal man gave his equal!
