No love in Gomorrah

Brighten is the sky but darkness creeped into our space
a once happy family with hopes and dreams
Huddled together in sadness condemned to move at certain paces
one step in front of the other was all we'd seen

Hopeless was I , behind the crates of the masters
slowing my heart beat which only knows to move faster
a single sound is all it takes to be captured
my people dragged , whipped and chained like the forthcoming of rapture

creak,my legs hit an open door ,shocked
my heart drop ,why what have I done
I had a knife,I'd rather be with my Igbo family
death is better than shackles

I'd never forget the scared look of the small injured white child
her death creeped near but her face widen
"please Take me to my mom" she said with pained frown

my heart dropped down into my knees
my grip on the knife tighten,a thought appeared
will I really give her up to Anubis for the chance not to be on my knees

with a sorrowful smile I said" I'm sorry"
she seemed shocked but resigned her fate
I then screamed loudly carrying the little white girl in arms
to the masters we go, a smile on my face

A girl of my age smiling in my arms
I'd rather give up the freedom than allow this
she gave me a smile with a peck on the cheek
a master came we found a negro he spoke

I dropped the girl down at his feet and repeated the words
I'm sorry for this,she seemed confused
I slitted my throat ,cut right down to the bones
I'm sorry I said again with tears on my face
she panicked,but I was gone

there I saw my body gruesome to see
a scared girl injured but was taken by the whites
my body mangled up,thrown into sea
for there's no love in Sodom and Gomorrah
an end to a prestigious body for he knew
Death was better than chains
