Tired sighs poured into the golden fields
As sun-browned bodies struggled to toil
The melancholic cadence of their earth songs
Drove little arrows of guilt into the universe
Their blackened nails soothed ripe grains
And calmed their submission to the plundering
Slaves and produce at the Master’s altar
File in their wares jaded to the debauched
Hollowed out bodies boned to the skin
Rasp feeble prayers and stare empty-eyed
Lashed and toyed at on a savage whip
Withered souls resign to mouth silent screams
A handful of grains for the nubile young
As bodies are ravaged and bartered for a roof
Bitter tales of survival of a burdened race
Sleepwalking in despair, pressing to endure.
