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...
