HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BOUND, WITH SHACKLES ON YOUR FEET? IF ONLY YOU COULD HAVE MET OUR FOREFATHERS, THEY ARE PEOPLE YOU NEED TO MEET. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN WHIPPED, WITH BLEEDING STRIPES UPON YOUR BACK? WHEN YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING; YOU WERE CONSTANTLY WHACKED. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN HUNG BY THE ROOT PART OF YOUR NECK? NO MATTER IF YOU WERE SKINNY, OR IF YOU WERE FAT? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BEATEN, UNTIL YOU WERE BLACK AND BLUE? TO ASK OUR FOREFATHERS, THEY]LL TELL YOU BY WHO. BY, AUTHOR & POET, SANDRA JUANITA NAILING
