Boats of Shame

Bring your guns Bring your boats Boats filled with ghosts Boats weighted with chains Chains that will one day break Chains that will carry Carry us to Zion Carry our pain Pain born of separation Pain that preceded Preceded our birth Preceded our rising Rising here within a new nation Rising for we know Know that Ja is merciful Know that Abraham smiles Smiles upon the righteous Smiles though our tears Tears that lift Tears of joy Joy born Joy gained in freedom Freedom that we took Freedom we reclaimed Reclaimed by us a strong people Reclaimed by transcendent men Men of purpose Men who are Ja's chosen people People who know our purpose People who cry Cry for our babies Cry for Mother Mother Africa Mother of all children Children who ripped from her Children who grew pale Pale as papyrus Pale for they lack compassion Compassion died Compassion exchanged for greed Greed that intoxicated Greed for flesh Flesh of coco Flesh subjegated to their wanting Wanting more power Wanting things to stay the same Same for us men Same promise to set free Free Men For Marugu MO's "Race Relations Contest".
