I have had enough talk
About slaves and the hungry
I have cried for the women
Who are lured abroad
with false promises of work and prosperity
and made into unpaid sex slaves
I have prayed for children snatched
from their mothers’ loving arms
and sold into harsh back breaking labour
never to feel pure unselfish love
let’s not talk about them I pray
let’s talk instead,
about those among us
who refuse to learn
from the hurt caused by the Trans Atlantic slave trade
lets shed light instead,
on the greedy sitting on thrones of power
the heartless who sell their children and sisters
Lets shoot video clips about this lot
And give them a platform to share their reasoning
For i have tried but failed to answer this,
How do you touch the heart of the heartless?
Or fill a bottomless well of greed?
