Chapter 1 - Slavery
Submitted June 4, 2006 Updated June 4, 2006 Status Incomplete | I asked my friend to help me out with my homework, since I am no good at writing poems. We had to write a poem about a black slave. She said i could post it on here if I wanted, as long as I give her full credit. Please, tell me what you think!

Chapter 1 - Slavery
Chapter 1 - Slavery
Forced from my home in Africa,
Stripped of my destiny & dreams,
To being sold in America,
A barbaric country it seems.
People like me in chains,
Faces mourning at their loss,
Black children lamenting endlessly,
As white aristocrats ask our cost.
I stand now on the podium,
And the auctions begin,
"What have I done to deserve this?" i think,
"Have I committed a sin?"
I am filled with anger,with dread,with hate,
And I know other feel the same distaste,
Why do we get treated like this?
When the only difference is out colour, our race?
But there is one fact I know,
One that fills me with glee,
I may be enslaved on the outside,
But inside I''ll always be free!
