If only Kunta kanti had a camera phone
He would've captured many untold stories
stories of a sad slave girl sitting all alone
Sad stories of overworked slaves with worries.
Stories of ''Massa'' holding the Holy Bible
And in another hand the ever present whip
There would've been images of souls no longer able
To work from dawn to dusk without a drop to sip.
If only Kunta Kanti had a remote controlled drone
Or a Facebook account to share stories and go LIVE
The world would've seen the master's no go zone
Where he buried the bodies of those no more alive.
Stories of the slave master's cruelty would've gone viral
And on the other hand exposed the ugly slave trade
He would've been seen as a vile man who lacked moral
Maybe a jail sentence because of the video Kunta made.

A poet's mind is not censored, his thoughts not political correct..moreover, his imagination can't be themed!

I would like to translate this poem
Amazing theme.Well written.Thanks for sharing. ' Stories of ''Massa'' holding the Holy Bible And in another hand the ever present whip There would've been images of souls no longer able To work from dawn to dusk without a drop to sip. Sometimes I wonder whether humanity ever actually existed and how can people be so savage without knowing the pain of another of his own race.
Thanks Ashika....I too wonder the same...what a shame!
