We often lament long-term effects of slavery
on those enslaved across multiple generations.

Enslavement leads to addiction and codependent denial,
then is taught and mentored to enslaved children,
also separated from family and sold,
until third generations and beyond
were dressed...

Every bodies afraid of going into business
what happens if the company goes bankrupt 
does that mean I'll lose my home and everything else
to the debts of a bad investment

the water in the teapot is boiling &

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Reparation
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: July/2014


Why  can't we 
get paid?

We want 
our
reparation,

for 
lost wages
of
our labor,

since
the
Atlantic Slave
Trade- began

Reparations
for pain 
and
suffering,

from being 
auctioned 
as 
commodity,

to
racist
White men -

We were sold 
off,

to 
different 
slave owners,  

displacing us
from our 
mother, father, 
sister, 
and 
brother, forever -

We demand
to be 
compensated,

for our
separation 
from 
family -

We want reparation
for
false imprisonment 
as slave's.

Why can't we 
get paid?

What we...

...But the problem with apologies
is where exactly do we start?
The Aztecs took thousands of slaves,
and ‘praised their gods’ but cutting out hearts.
The Indians enslaved each other,
and settlers in the many wars,
but the Spanish enslaved them,

would you rather live in a 
totalitarian state which 
doesn’t dilly-dally round the
truth, pretending that citizens
have freedom, feeding them
the illusion that they will not
be crushed more & more 
each day & squandered by the
rich elite...

3000+ cameras come to
the big apple, echoing the

wonder as well, what will be

66 Million years ago
Fireball from the sky hits 
Echoing life-planet,
Snuffing almost all in darkness
Mouse like burrowing under the inferno. 

1750
People harvested like wheat
Strong men, children and women
Especially women
Packed into sea vessels 
To Build America

1854
Holding stinking...

I like Germany
I like the Germans
I have friends there
I worked for a time near Frankfurt 
And I visit Berlin often
It’s my favourite city
They are nice people
Friendly and welcoming
They share our hopes
And our aspirations
We are so...
