Slavery and Unsavory
Slavery and Unsavory
Was quite a character and so unsavory;
Had heard his attitude towards slavery
Was let each on have life of their own;
A message from God caste in stone.
Treat with respect God simply did say;
When needing help never turn away;
With our minds what must we be doing?
About ensuing facts and their ungluing.
When much better we want world to be
Does it really require a certain ceremony:
More knowledge into mind must be feed,
And others in circles don't like to be led.
As in much heat shall start to swelter
Running here and there helter-skelter
Challenge you to do the same to me
So we will be a product of all history.
What should we have become a slave to?
And when whole day is finally through,
Never again will I ever be left alone
People will want my poems for their own.
