How do I survive
Taken from my home
Chained head to toe
To live in a land foreign to me
Speaking in a language I dont understand
Beaten at a whim because they feel inferior
Sodomizing me to break me down
I am not a man
I’m not even an animal
My back bears the scars of my attempts at freedom
Tied, beaten, and left to die
My life’s blood soaking the god forsaken land
But I will not die here. I will die free.
My life is not even my own
I am now properly to be sold or disposed of
I am to be trained in their ways
Yes suh. No suh. Right away suh.
I see the things in my homeland
Antelope, lions, elephants
Every thing that I took foregranted
These things I will forever miss
Keeping me a prisoner in my own mind.
