White Demons My Mom was herded onto a boat. My dad was herded too. My sister and I could only sit back and watch, Until we were herded too. Sitting in that stinky boat Chained to the wall Only made us remember That hellish night before. My mother sold My dad moving on I stepped to the board And I was also sold The master's whip stung my back. The master's wife's words stung my heart. All I could think about was putting up a fight. But I knew better, my life depended On my decision to stay calm Standing at a counter, washing dishes and cooking food I remembered the time long ago And the ship I was forced to know Time had made my life hell Eternity was how it felt Finally I found hope, In the one I loved The one I adored. He was my hope my shinning joy! Our children soon came. Beautiful each one. My life no longer hell I could go on But then that awful day arrived And they all stood on the block All four of my children Sold like life stock My husband has been beat He is bleeding in my arms Will he die? The answer only tomorrow will bring Why had these white demons come? Taken all I knew And sent it in a whirl All my love lost What will tomorrow bring?
