FREE ESSAY ON WHITE DEMONS

WHITE DEMONS

White Demons
My Mom was herded onto a boat. 
My dad was herded too.
My sister and I could only sit back and watch,
Until we were herded too.
Sitting in that stinky boat
Chained to the wall
Only made us remember
That hellish night before.
My mother sold 
My dad moving on 
I stepped to the board
And I was also sold
The master's whip stung my back.
The master's wife's words stung my heart.
All I could think about was putting up a fight.
But I knew better, my life depended 
On my decision to stay calm
Standing at a counter, 
washing dishes and cooking food
I remembered the time long ago
And the ship I was forced to know
Time had made my life hell
Eternity was how it felt
Finally I found hope, 
In the one I loved 
The one I adored.
He was my hope my shinning joy!
Our children soon came.
Beautiful each one.
My life no longer hell I could go on
But then that awful day arrived 
And they all stood on the block
All four of my children
Sold like life stock
My husband has been beat
He is bleeding in my arms
Will he die?
The answer only tomorrow will bring
Why had these white demons come?
Taken all I knew
And sent it in a whirl
All my love lost
What will tomorrow bring?
