Day into night
The Hot Sun being the summer light
Slavery and ******* being a plight
Plantation having a purpose
Beatings with torment strikes
The disadvantage in having no constitutional rights
The plan in how slaves will escape
It will be movements like apes
While the slave masters were asleep
The Slaves were making plans in escape preparations being thought deep
All the Slaves held their meeting, but knew there could be death with plenty of torture if they were to be caught
But escape in being a chance, but it’s the only way the slaves will ever advance
A mission with being determined to be free
But the Slaves had to escape at night before sunrise without being noticed
The Slaves took their lanterns, but had to be very quite it if they intend to head for freedom in the Underground Railroad
Yet night was pitch black
Slaves had to mobilize forward, but not look back
The focus, “On to Freedom”
A new being feeling like Heaven’s Kingdom
Well the Underground Railroad was light at the end of the tunnel
Many Slaves were able to exit into forbidden States, while others were less fortunate, and were killed in their efforts
Yet different states had abolished all the slave laws and Slavery for most part became home of freedom
So the Underground Railroad was a passage in freedom being was it was supposed to be
The eye on Dignity and Honor in knowing where one belongs
The music of spiritual songs
“Wade in the Water”
The Lord sees our plight and he is our guidance and our light
It was a time of weary and tired feet
But freedom you can’t give into defeat
Every breath in accelerating in whatever time you have left
The Curtain call but with freedom never ending
A time to rejoice and give thanks
It was a long walk being a journey
I carried my dignity and pride with me with every given step
Now I can finally close my eyes and sleep
My soul is in Heaven and everlasting to keep
My living being my stride
Oh Lord to whom I will abide.
