Plantation Purgatory

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 212

Toiling for centuries our ancestors must not be forgotten 

Their story was purgatory picking sugar cane and cotton

Master thereafter tended to his flock 

Hours in fields heavy handed like livestock

Whips sting and sweat streams agony under burlap 

When scabs on backs cracked, bloody cloths were quickly rewrapped 

‘Water Boss?’ cautiously requested seconds away from heat stroke

White man on a horse drinking from a canteen simply replied ‘Nope.’
