Slavery Days. B

Remember that fitfully day,
Taken away into slavery,
Without been given a chance,
Dragged out of home existence.

Goodbye given was never,
Rather was frogged far,
Taken to the end of world,
Awaiting the fate ahead.

Our freedom rooted from home,
Taken foreign country as slave,
Killing the generation of our village,
The weak abandon in doomed village.

Long n tiresome was the journey,
Sometimes lost even on the way,
Always were dangerous dotted path,
Entering forbidden forest of death.

Into white settlers farm sold,
Into work without penny forced,
Hard labor imposed in life,
Targeting our strong hidden hope.
