Divided State

Ashy skin, knotty naps

Clothes made out of

Burlap sacks.

Rice fields- filled

With whipped backs.

Built riches and wealth

for outsiders, Interlopers.

Who allied in arms with those 

they shackled.

To separate from the the 

Crown that owned the keys to their chains.

Instead of a beautiful Reconstruction.

Arrogant ignorance took hold.

Using infiltration 

Generations of African descendants 

are plagued by separation.

As valuable as pure Gold

Cane Sugar, Tobacco and Human Cargo

Sustained a foothold.
