Ancestors violated by the oppressors
Future generations conflicted with
The facts of this history
But the truth remains a mystery
I think of the book Exodus
Why have they come for us?
Pharaoh let my people go
Caged and treated like animals
Tortured,
Beaten,
Mutilated,
These acts are related to what happened
Over 400 years ago
They say slavery is no more.
Then why do those who look like me
Still being shackled?
We are human and should be treated
As such
Our bodies are not to be displayed as a
Sexual object
Our young women shouldn’t be forced
To sell their temples for pleasure
Our souls belong to God Almighty
Not to be sold for monetary gain.
I dream of freedom for my people
Until it happens I’ll continue
To pray for freedom.
Pharaoh let my people go
