And poverty of creation

The cry of the enslaved
To break the bonds of oppression

Dollars and consensus,
Violate our senses,
A symbol condenses,
Our spirit's presence,
For paper worth less than a cent is.
Taken from your lands
Imprisoned, beaten, chained
No one understands???????

By James Edward Lee Sr.
I freed a few slaves but could have freed much more,
if only they had known that they are slaves, and what they are enslaved for.
thick fog engulfs night
wading across fetid swamp
moon casts dim beacon
eyes of beasts monitor steps
owner's pursuing dogs howl
With visual field microscopic
Some utterly blind and myopic
Consume to the max
As a luxury tax
On those needing help philanthropic
Chains shackled slaves of the past until their death.
Todays slaves are enslaved until their grave, not with chains, but with debt.
The colonial masters have gone
Our self-crowned kings rule now
Citizens have gone skin and bone
Like animals we exist somehow
A person value is always at least an another with everything that he possesses
therefore no one never have a such value for buy him.
Nate Love
After being freed from slavery,
Became the most famous black cowboy in history.
But the cause of his death stayed a mystery.
As psoriasis; old scoros is'
With vulgarity; of method-biz
Darkening all hearkening
Bloated out ego-cankering
Blood money his diocease!
slavery poetry
civil rights
poverty language
this is strong liberating art
to become soft after crime
rather than prevailing crime wages
In the midst of Slavery
We survived
In the midst of Segregration
We survived
In the midst of Genocide
We will survive
Thank You God
We wanted our slavery to vanish
They freed us and went the British
We lost our freedom and embraced
It’s within but where is beyond trace
this was built on slavery
the buildings the roadsthe cities
the films the music the art
the religions the philosophies
all came from slaves
Lord free me from this bondage
I am a slave to sin
A servant of Satan
Leave me not in his power
Since his desire is to destroy me
Son of Adam
I want to thank you Lord
You save me from slavery
You save me from lynchings
You save me from segregation
You save me from poverty
Thank you Lord
inner consciousness
seeks righteous abnegation
leads to salvation
Big flashy lies protrude all about
Promotion of happiness casting
Linger awhile and soon without doubt
See corporate deceit everlasting
No trumpet blew, yet thunder came,
From streets once hushed, now lit with flame.
A tyrant's crown was cast away,
By barefoot hearts who dared to stay.
I walk across the floor
As I approach the door
It is locked and closed
Will the master let me in?

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2021
globalization’s bird of slavery
migrates south for
capitalism’s winter
metamorphasizing into bird of freedom
which migrates back north
singing its tale.
