Amistad Poem
Four men when in a rice field seized me.
Leaving behind my wife and child.
It was the worst day of my life.
I was two weeks in traveling to Lomboko.
Who were those white ghosts putting me on the slave ship?
I was so tired and hungry I thought I might die.
Now I am in a jail in a strange land.
This jail is terrible. I can’t even think what ill happen to me.
I just want to leave this horrible place.
Will I ever be free?
