Slavery Was Not A Choice

Slavery was the worst crime ever committed Against humanity Slavery was an insult, a major sin, a tragedy A carnage against innocent human beings Slavery was the worst sin ever committed By racist and selfish men and women Who are now rotting in hell Slavery was NOT a choice, an omen A prize, a reward, a bail, a bell Slavery was hell on earth That's why Blacks are still stigmatized Discriminated against, lynched, humiliated Robed, raped, tortured and ostracized Slavery is hell on earth Slavery was the eeriest crime ever committed. My people are still suffering My people are still hurt My people are lynched, maimed, killed or murdered Our brothers and sisters are beat and destroyed We cannot let jerks, clowns and perverts Minimized the sacrifices, the stings Of countless bees and ants parading On the bodies of our ancestors Perhaps the racists, the criminals, the murderers Had a choice.They were heartless. Slavery was cruel Slavery was, and is still repulsive, criminal Abnormal and satanic. The libraries Are full of images of our tortured brothers And sisters. Slavery is full of tragedies Our ancestors have fought to death against slavery The internet is full of real and vivid stories Shut up! Shut up! Study your history Before showing your ignorance About the struggles, the fights For equality and acceptance Our people have endured and fought Dummy, hold your stupid thoughts Our people are still struggling and fighting Our people are still suffering Slavery was NOT a choice Slavery was NOT a choice Slavery is still relevant Until today, until the present Time Slavery was a crime Slavery is a crime against human beings.
