Slavery Poem by Rich Harney

Slavery



I saw a cotton field
with wrinkles in the sun
chains held fast the shame of it
and tore the moral coat.

The agony of money sweat
regurgitating fear,
tearing hopes of innocents
a plea for no repeat.

A blessing for calamity
a visage modified
from such a lowly parsonage
ideally ratified
