JUXTAPOSED MIDDLE PASSAGE DOORS

JUXTAPOSED MIDDLE PASSAGE DOORS

Moments and thoughts on tribulation:

Too long to endure;

Too short not to brave;

One thing was for sure—

Better to have died free than lived a slave.

Yet others were made to survive.

Ships docked with half their stock.

Pity—those poor souls arrived—Alive;

Sold on the auction block!

Moments and thoughts on neo-colonial liberation:

Now the stilled, calm sea beckons the unbroken soul;

New horror stories from the Motherland wait to be told.

Tides of neo-wickedness ebb and flow her bleeding shores;

Our-story of ethnic-genocide remains behind his-story’s shut doors.
