THE NEW MIDDLE PASSAGE...

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 428

Unlike ancestors,

with their coffles

chaining them to ships’

bellies and bowels---they

volunteered to be packed

like sardines; to be

rescued at sea

to be free of old tyranny---

happy for the new that awaits---

fortified in the future

by the cruel injustice of home.

 

Thus, armed with the weaponry

of steel faith, they chose

to challenge the sea to be free---

floating on the waves of hope---seeking

the possibility of a morsel of liberty.

 

What a pitiful irony---they paid for the journey

the ancestors had no choice in taking:

maybe one day---their children

will be able to pay---returning home willingly.
