The Black Slave by kegendify: 10:50pm On Sep 10, 2018 |
*The black slave* I am a slave A living creature with personal dreams of a life of fulfilments, But because I am black, I am deemed fit, only as a tool for the colonial masters. I have been forced to become a legal property of another human like me colours differentiating us. I am strong. I am full of untapped potentials. All that still isn't enough all due to fact that I am black. I am a slave Africa is my home. I strongly hold the belief that someday I will be free, Dead or alive? A mystery I don't want to know the answer yet. I have been beaten. I have been burned. I have been scourged. I have been shackled. I have been hanged. Punishments meted out in response to perceived infractions. Most times I have been punished are just to show and reassert my masters dominance over me. All this has caused me great pain, but because I am an African I know I can withstand whatever is thrown at me. I am a slave I have heard of news of slave trade being banned in many parts of the world. I don't know when it will get to where I am being held in bondage. But I hope it gets here sooner. Because I am getting weaker. I don't want my freedom when I am almost about to go back to my ancestors. I want my freedom now. I want to go back to my dear Africa. I want to witness the joyful nights, enjoy moonlight tales and watch the little children dance around the fire. My Africa is the reason why I hold on to all sorts of sickening a treatments I have been forced to withstand. I am a slave Morning is here. The day I get my freedom. My master has decided to let me go not as a goodwill but because I have grown old and frail unable to serve him to the nearest standards. My bones are weak. The journey to my beloved Africa will certainly kill me. I am heartbroken. I am bitter. I have no kin of my own. When i die on my way to Africa. My body will be feasted on by vultures. My bones scattered all over the desert. A once promising young man reduced to dust. _Ifeanyi sibling_ 1 Like |
