Slavery Poem by Ray Lucero

Slavery be a bane to all mankind
As been so throughout the ages
After every invasion, slavery you find
Plain folk confined in rusting cages

Not long ago;

Spanish punished with rods and whips
Friars and Jesuits demanded toil
Later Europeans;
Kidnapped Africans, moved in ships
To waiting hands who did be-spoil

Today debt be the slavers preferred tool
Usury/foreclosure the banker's norm
With trickery and inflation they fool
Complaints met with men in uniform

More misery to come ‘lest more awaken
With "Debt amnesty" quickly declared
Evil deeds end when tree is shaken
With truth and justice no longer spared
