How Unlikely Was Freedom Throughout History

The irresistible force removed the object 
the unmovable slave trade always a profit 
always forever a normalised project
so why would Britannia be willing to stop it 

why would you pay just to give them away 
purchase the product to cease without pay 
for the sake of a debt that centuries stay 
for no return no gain but to change the day 

freedom is freedom through miracle alone 
it came from nowhere and was the unknown 
take it for granted and still those would own 
how unlikely the ending that we have all known 

One power, would be, one historically, 
if not for Britain ruling the sea, 
the way of the human, still slavery,
no other power ever set us free!
