Disgrace For The Human Race.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

POET's NOTES
It was true love between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra
in ancient Greece and in ancient Egypt.
Julius said his world famous quote,
I came, I saw, I conquered.
Indeed he conquered, Cleopatra and with her ancient Egypt,
their love child: Ceasarion.
I fell in love with Elmina, a lovely peaceful town in Ghana, Africa,
in the West Indian Company historical past was that the biggest human tragedy has ever taken place on our earth.
I have deep respect for Ghana that it does not destroy the dungeon, the castle or the place, young Ghanaians (or Ghanians)are studying here their historical and cultural past,
elder Ghanaians (or Ghanians)are telling us they are proud of their past.
I know, that's true love and respect for their past, they want people all over the world know all things about their past and they are proud because they make part of this past,
this tragic past and they are proud of their ancestors who have been the victims.
They never say it about a tragedy, I say that because of my sensitiveness as a person and a poetess.
Most tragic that teens are kidnapped from their sweet and loving family and environment to be sold as slaves in far foreign countries.
This is only one aspect.

Elmina, such a pleasant peaceful place at Ghana's ivory coast, I fell in love with.
