Enslave Us Again

ENSLAVE US AGAIN!!! ''''''''''''''''''''''"""""""""""""" How slavery unites men- how chains made us friends. How the Glossolalia of that tribe- was learnt by this tribe. How we shared the same breath- and the same bugs in our beds. How the ships that bore us- listened to the chorus- of our sorrows in brotherhood as we shared the same wound. How the ship sank- with some of our brothers- and how in our tears' tank sink our eyes accross the borders. We were tied together- our hearts made stronger, was it the chain that united us? oh white men! come and enslave us. For the freedom that should unite- is now the god-father of seperation, If in bondage we were tied- we would, together, come. Once upon a time- slavery united us, where now is our family ties? broken by the sword of freedom. Oh mother! you were right and grandmother was truthful, foes are made friend in the eyes of calamities and troubles. Let that chain be back- to tie together the seperated hands, and to close the crack- and the borders estraging the three tribes. ©®Ibrahim Clouds(SWC)
