The Maafa - The Great Tragedy - The African Holocaust
Culture, name, religion, and many lives lost
Sailing West from the Gulf of Guinea through the Atlantic Ocean
connected by blood and marked differently by hair and villages
they were enticed by our beauty,
we walked the earth with pride
Water rushes without the light
All alone, a lonely plight
A whoosh of air, I’m not alone
A bright, bright light
Your face then shone.
