Am I Not A Human?

I Am A Human Too!

My neck was a home to cruel chain
‎My posterior, a home to countless pain,
‎
‎It all started from the brink of the Lagoon
‎My mother was tied, my sister was striped naked
‎just like a baboon,
‎My father, like every other man, was flogged to stupor
‎The thirsty land fed on his blood like liquor.
‎
‎Yes, I was there, there I was,
‎I heard a domineering voice, piercing through from
‎the waves of the Atlantic ocean,
‎"Cram them in that boat, and chain them all"
‎
‎As if all was not enough,
‎the book of my language was torn, rightly in front of me,
‎And the chapters of my identity was buried in hatred and disdain,
‎
‎Our water and soil were all poured in their greedy sack
‎My mother to filter the water, our fathers to till the soil,
‎His posterior was adorned with wound, and her neck was dislocated with cargo.
‎
‎So, I stood for a while like a lifeless statue,
‎Staring on my skin, touching my chest if I truly breathe
‎like that White man that whipped me of my land and pride,
‎
‎All,I could see, was a striking resemblance of every feature!
‎So, I am a human too?
‎So, we both had blood that flourished through our vein?
‎And we both had heart that pound on the left side of our chest?
‎
‎So, I am a human Too!
‎
‎
‎
