Emancipation Proclamation

Blaming the white men
Is the idea, the insane ideas
That many of you have in your eyes
I am slumbering
Shifting in my cotton sheets
Tangling further in them
Till I cry out for fear of chains
My hands are bloody red, from the cotton that I have picked. Blisters eating out my flesh, from the wooden cutlass I held. Sun having no mercy on my dark colored skin. Sweat pouring down my face, to the point where it stings.
