: Black Skin But White Hearts

It was past thought

But I felt it's history

The narrator seems talk from experience

"They had a gate called the gate of no return"said the narrator

The gate described death

Black skin women taken as slaves

Were kept inside the room

Inside felt dark

The room contained only one small window,their source of air for breathing

She paused and breathed out

Her eyes turned misty, I could feel her shy tears

But she continued

"Over one hundred women were kept in such tiny and dark room

The only light they experienced was

When the master wanted to have pleasure

He could just open the gate and the light outside falls on these women revealing how scared they are

Whenever there was light they knew there was trouble coming

How the wished the gates remained closed forever so they could die a happy death

The master gets hold of one of the women that pleases him

The legs and hands of these women were all in chains

Heavy chains that the master holds and drags

Immediately the master gets the one wants

They experience darkness again

They were all in darkness but there good hearts gave them light

Night and Day always seemed the same to them

Whenever the master comes for one of them , the others prayed that their god's help keep their blood protected

They never saw their god's but they had faith in them

Outside,the challenges of the one experiencing light begins

The master drags her and throws her into the sand

She cries and pleads but the master never listens

He splashes water on the body of the woman

The pain of the woman seems to be the pleasure the master enjoys

Water all over her body but her tears still flows

When the master feels the skin of the woman is clean,now he the stops

He gets close to her and graphs her wet hair

Trying to pull it,she tries to prevent him fro doing so but the heavy chains prevents her

Their faces gets locked to eachother

The master sees both fear and pleasure in her eyes

but she sees through the wicked eyes of the master

She sees her locked sisters praying for her safe return

She gathers courage and allow the pain to dissolve into her

He graphs her breast;which displays its shape through her wet attire

He takes and lays her on a filthy table nearby

He enjoys her whiles she felt agony

She tried to remain strong but

Also wishing death came for her soul

Within some minutes the master gets exhausted

Her returns her back into the darkness

The only place she feels safe

They all felt happy for her return

But feels the blood she bleeds

The safe return of their blood

rekindles their spirits
