    Run away slave : the troubles faced

    Scared, shocked, shaken, stressed.
    A gun pointed to your face,
    no where to daze.
    Too scared to return to slaves.
    Left or right no where to face.

    “Go on with us or die”
    The choice is yours said the leader.
    Don’t want to go back and die
    But the journey is too long
    And was now making our legs feel gone.

    So much stress made us depressed.
    So much walking made us wandering.
    Too late to turn back now cause
    Being black means being jacked and cracked.
    Praying not to die while taking a side.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
