Among the Shadows

The rightful owners, the onkwehonwe,
the masters of the land
are treated as shadows.
As the owner of the vineyard in the Bible,
whose son was killed by workers,
who rented the vineyard for business.

What will the Father,
the master do to the workers,
who do not pay for rent?
What will God, the Father do to workers
if he finds out,
that they have killed his son?

Isn’t Abya Yala this vineyard?
Ah selfish, shameless,
you will be reduced
to what you are worth
and your minds 
will be locked in your wrath.
