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?
