Original Sin

 ORIGINAL SIN

Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth,

            African slaves landed at Jamestown.

After Columbus destroyed the Caribbean,

            African slaves replaced the natives.

After America abolished slavery,

            Slavery went on,

                        Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico.

Slavery is as old as Rome,

            Which felt Slavs

                        Made good slaves.

The Japanese Army

            Believed Korean women

                        Made good sex slaves.

In Africa, captured children

            Make good boy soldiers.

The powerful will always find someone,

            Weaker, smaller, younger,

                        To use and abuse.

            It is our Original Sin.
