The Sorrows of Slavery: Poetry of the Past

In this day and time, having a historical perspective of what happened in the past, is a conversation hidden in the rhetoric of individuals destine to understand truth. But what is truth? Truth is Truth… Stated Facts of Reality. How can you understand where you are going if you do not know where you come from? We are in the time of; Set Free Truth! To speak truth, is to face facts, to face facts, is to research, and to research is to read as you place things together over time. So, over a period; I have attempted to capture the thoughts and feelings of our ancestors while they were in captivity. It has been stated that slavery was a necessary evil, but truthfully, it was an evil that did not have to happen. But as we analyze the generational affects it has had on countless number of black and brown men as they sit behind bars, doing time for mistakes that they have made and although some of the mistakes were strategically plan, they still sit in a state of captivity. What are their sorrows and why have they accepted the position of a slave in this present time? And the Truth is We are Special People! Descendants of Kings and Queens, stolen from a land, by another man, to build this land, that we currently live in. So, as you read the poems and observe the pictures in this book, understand that the Truth Shall Set You Free! Timeless poems that frees us from a slave mentality. Read The Sorrows of Slavery and reset your greatness. Professor Patrick Businge, Founder of Greatness University
