Slavery

by ღShannaღ   Mar 10, 2005


Everyone had to write a poem about slavery in History class,everyone liked mine...Therefore I put it on here to see what people thought...

Please someone help me,
What am I going to do.
God can you hear me,
I need to talk to you.

I hate the way I'm treated,
The way that I am beat.
I'm so weak and powerless,
For I haven't anything to eat.

And at times I try to pray,
Hoping the master wont hear.
God wont you take me away,
And make my troubles disappear.

I just want to be free,
For I am a worthless slave.
I always feel like this,
Each and everyday.

I need you more than ever now,
For I fear the life of my child.
He was taken away and sold today,
I had to watch him cry.

It was so painful to me,
Watching him pulled away.
So God I have only one plea,
One last thing to say.

Make everyone on this world no different,
From slaves,or the whites.
I no longer want to be criticized,
I know I have a right.
