Goree

Bowl of tears raining furiously
with reddened eyes at blaze
and eardrums echoing revenge
when your right and left feet
stand by el d goree -door of no return
where the dreadful goree stands
with numerous memorial prison cells
by millions of friendly sea waves
in midst atlantic water heights
and you do not have to say bye-bye Africa!
atleast not while in forceful chains
how lucky are you then?
O so lucky African man!
It is quite different from then
when the slave master came to
meet virgin Africa of great
so young, rich and beautiful
acting like greedy monstrous wolves
scary rodents and barbaric hypocrites
stealing all our wealth
and taking our men and women
across the friendly atlantic smile
to tame and enslave them elsewhere
without ever having to bring them back
and indeed so cruel and inhumane
were these lousy idiots
whose instints are so evil
their ugly eyes plugged with shit
and their dirty mouths smelling bad
with hypocritical cat eyes
that they used to groom slaves
and now, for all your heneous crimes
Mr. Slave master of agony
how can Mama Africa forgive you?
