A Faraway Land
In a faraway land.
Was a culture minding their business?
It was others that showed interest.
Intrigued with the free labor of these folks.
They captured and shipped to another land.
And yes, some were sold by their very own people.
In a faraway land.
That many would get to revisit again.
They arrived unto another country and became the property of the plantation.
Sold, abused, separated, and ***** of their heritage.
Time will travel down through centuries.
And others would say to this culture-go back where you came from?
But then that means they too should leave.
Because in a faraway land those shipped here were among their ver own people.
Comfortable and loved more.
And now their descendants.
Not going nowhere?
Because your heritage kidnapped them from a faraway land.
