Question

I had to write a poem about slavery in ELA, here it is, im proud of it. Slavery was a very terrible thing, and nobody should have to live through something like that. I hope my poem hits that point home. (ITS A SOUTHERN ACCENT, SO THOSE ARE NOT SPELLING ERRORS, THEIR INTENTIONAL (feedback pls)







Wakin up again to another
Day, in the same place
Prayin to the lord above, hopin
He would bless us all

The hallway shortens when i
Walk it
I hear the master given orders
I feel my footsteps are louder an,
Heavier.

I hear whips, and in the corner
A small child crying,
She gets scolded, and she
Hurries away

Ion know why they
Think we are part of their
“Destiny”
Load of crap if you ask me

I remember when I was
A small child
An I was in a nice little
House.

Livin happily
Always flowers growin in the spring
Then they came
Always flowers dyin in the winter

I go to my sad little
Room, with the others.
We go to sleep after
Too much work to be safe

Layin down again to another
Night, in the same place
Prayin to the lord above, hopin
He would bless us all
