First they gagged him
Than each white hand
Tied his limbs
They placed a pillow
Than came the blows
Muffled screams
Of wordless pains
Leaving him in agony
Making him relive his
Ancestral parentage
Of being black
In a white mans world
When he regained consciousness
Managed to free his body from his
Captive soul
On the white walls
Of a white mans world
He wrote his first black poem
In blood..
