Rank: Unranked Newbie

We carried this energy across waves
Stored it in our palms for 90 plus days
Until we greeted new greens that introduced themselves to us with joy
Telling us their deadly, life giving secrets
They too had prepared themselves for this work
Prepared themselves for our coming
Bakra called this union magic, witchcraft
We called it science
They called it of the devil, because we gave them hell
As our dancing feet kiss the soil
We conjured the ultimate reward for our daily toil
We are the target of the first war for oil
Oil ah freedom
Oil ah run weh and cyaan find
Oil ah bun dung plantation
Oil kill massa dead
Oil ah barren di mistress so fi her pickney nuh live fi come slave fi mi
We unleashed this energy
They demonised it… Us
How else could they describe the images crawling through the nightmares that shattered them sleepless
What in truth they saw was justice
Beautiful in its terror
AH. But how have we come to see terror in the beauty we conjure?
So much so we dare not Speaks it name
Except through whispers in desperate times
And tales to scare children
But who has patience to challenge a mother to her fruit of womb
This energy is stored awaiting its full bloom
When we are ready the greens will greet us again with joy
And a new reign of beautiful terror shall commence
