Despair(a poem)

--

I feel despair

A quiet despair

Haunted by the dreams of a 400 year old nightmare

I cannot sleep,

I cannot breath,

I cannot see beyond the shadows in the trees

The ancestors cry from their eternal slumber

Awakened by the quiet thunder

Screaming

Will we ever be free?

Lord!

Will-

we-

ever-

be-

Free?
