Let the World Stop Libya Slave Trade

let the world stop Libya
slave trade was off the 
old age 

it was in the time 
of our bitter history


I thought we live in 
a new age 

I thought the 21st century
was a time of freedom

yet in north Africa 
there in libya  black
Africans slavery continues

will the world be quite 
and pretend not to see

this calamity need be 
stop 
so I urge the world 
Iet the world stop Libya slave trade

A potent pen my friend. With all that we humans are capable of it paralyses my heart and mind the atrocities that persist. Peace to you.
