They were boarded on a ship <br />They were given a way to live. <br />Forced not to use their language <br />And traditions they could not give. <br /> <br />They were individually slaughtered <br />Some mutilated and beaten. <br />They were deprived from mercy <br />And even fed to animals to be eaten. <br /> <br />Now proclaimed from these tribes <br />Great and many has now succeeded. <br />But no real name has been chosen <br />To explain the present rare breed. <br /> <br />Filtered and strained <br />With other races indeed. <br />So many lovely people <br />Don't deserve to be mistreated. <br /> <br />I'll live my life <br />With many wonders of earth. <br />But none has ever been so inqusitive <br />As the Black Mans birth.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-name-5/
