we are a nation borne from holding pens on the guinee coast
borne to be reborn in slaveship holds during the middle passage
we were tested during the maafa /the great suffering
that stretches from 1619 virginia to everywhere, usa, today
we were captured on elysian fields
where sunlight and occasional rain blessed the sahel and family fortune

am i holding onto you?
holding onto what seemed heaven?
hell yes,
and i would hold heaven, if i could
but heaven won’t be held
or let go.
