Slavery Is Still A Major Mortal Sin

No matter how we cut, curve or slice it Slavery is still evil and a major mortal sin Ill or bad treatment of other persons, men Women, seniors, toddlers or children Is truly diabolic. This society tends To forget yesteryear. Cutting the hands Of another person for stealing an apple Or anything is inhuman, devilish and cruel Slavery is the worst thing that ever happened To humanity. This is low and heart-wrenching Apparently, our forefathers have been rotten In hell for killing or lynching God's children No wonder why our world is so unmanning And disgusting. We all have obviously sinned The soil, where we are, was nourished by blood By the pain of millions of slaves who've died in misery Can we really be proud of our past, of our history? Think about it. Think deep. History is a big lie, a fraud Please understand what I am saying. Many famous writers Orators, presidents, generals and merchants owned slaves Brave men and women of darker shade were killed in caves And slaughtered like animals. Should we be proud of inventors Who have used Blacks as guinea pigs? Should we destroy Masterpieces and classical compositions that were done By people who have hurt so many? A black girl is not a toy A black woman is not an instrument. We have been listening For centuries to music created by thieves, rapists and murderers We need to stop being hypocrite. Somebody, up there, is waiting To punish us for our sins and our past, which are full of splinters We unknowingly idolize criminals on a daily basis. If we were To stop, there would no science, no music, no arts, NOTHING We celebrate anniversaries of many racists and rapists. Let's ring The bells of Freedom, so God can be easy on us. Let's swear To be more human and humble every single second of the day Let's show more compassion and stop looking the other way When our brothers and sisters, regardless of the color, are in pain Our past is a history lesson. Remember love comes before Heaven Many years have passed and gone; and slavery is still a mortal sin.
