Reparations Poems - Poems about Reparations

FOR ALL THAT IT’S WORTH – BY HAMID SINCLAIR In God… we find the godless. So-called transformers of faith— Neo-Decepticons, New Age ravers, Ravenous sheep… in wolf’s clothing.

...And what of my English background, when those damn Normans came to town, they slaughtered us, and left us ruled, by Frenchman with ambitions cruel! So Paris owes me lots of cash, and London owes me too, at that! And that’s not to mention the Welsh, they made me too, and suffered hell! I want that money, want in now! And don’t dare say,...

You hear it said a lot these days, “Reparations! Someone must pay! Our ancestors suffered, it’s true! For that we’ve come to take from you!” Now we could just point out the fact none of us were alive that far back, that sin can never be passed down, we’re sovereign actors, here and now, we did not commit these mistakes, and by no right...

SLAVERY AND REPARATIONS I am a descendant of slaves - from India! Anyone who demands REPARATIONS shake & quake at my words Competition? So, we have competing tales of bondage?

A man's first right is to his own country: That place by choice that was his father's hope Before. His breathing make its history, Its death is his shackles, his dream its scope. This was the first discord jarring nature When your hulls scraped the rock, unearthed us And moved us backwards to the dark future. Reparations demand you pay with trust...
