Enthralled

Enthralled As crystalline, fluffy without weighing much White perceived so resourceful, black seeded Hand red scotched, blood stains... sweat drips Off checks, sun heating and its rays amplified. Picking on one to fill the packing, turmoil out Backs bending to the weights of humiliation Lashed, whipped and driven off the plantation Mother's corpse never buried, I was too busy... With the selecting process so rinsed, agitated A third of it turns be the darkened seedlings, Yet to sprout and shoots forth anew tardy plant If ever green leafed, elementary hope be drawn And the other two thirds readily matured, white Beheaded, readily being sellouts for foreigner's Note, and us the bandits only knows of the yoke And that oxen drawn plough, proceeds are theirs...
