This is an assignment I had to do for English. I was rather proud of it, and wanted to share it to you guys for some feedback. It's about the slave trade from Africa to the US.


Corrupted Contrivance

Oh, spill the blood of the innocents,
Trap them in malicious torture.
But what different would it make?
Murderers and hardened souls the same.

Make them suffer
To make thyself powerful
But then thyself will suffer
While they overpower.

To make thyself stronger
Thy must make them weaker.
But thyself will grow weaker
When they grow stronger.

Oh, fill the world with whiteness
And abolish all else.
But what difference would it make?
Arrogant thieves and proud deceivers alike.
