A long time ago
Before time came into view
Centuries before civilization
Decades and milenias it was
Earth witnessed the sweat of their struggle
Fate brought them though gods to their knees
Gods clothes in mortals wear
Hail the black man ye peasant
Imprisoned , enslaved and cursed
Judged condemned and extorted
Lynched abused and dehumanized
Maimed and butchered
Name his debts now masters
Open the books and tell me
Print it in ink of blood and sweat
Queens man do well to tell me
Ring the bells and call to remembrance
Say to me now the black man’s offence
Tell me the course for the curse
Under the scotching sun he toiled
Vulnerable women abused and dehumanized
What did his maimed children did
X ray his broken femur and ribs
Yes, the bones broken by your cruel whips
Zenith of gods work brought to his knees, tell me what did the black man did ?
What do you think?
