Hollow - Over The Rainbow

CATEGORY

Views: 224

My home lies somewhere

Across the ocean.

Devoid of my History,

Devoid of my Culture,

Devoid of my Heritage,

Denied of my true Identity,

My Soul is hollow.

Oh! Father thank you for being there

Every step of the way.

 

This poem attempts to capture the emotional plight of the Africans captured from their Homeland around the world as a result of the prejudice they encounter in their daily lives and how they have become resilient through God.

 

Over The Rainbow is a collection of poems capturing the perspective of various members of the global community over time, stemming from the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Spiritually... powerful statement of the state ...of a people reaching back for a dream, living on "A hope, a wish, a prayer ...and a dream"
