. eagle of the ocean! Go down further... even further... you
. can't look human
. Like your diving in the flying brig!
. But what do I see there... What a picture of bitterness!
. It's a funeral song! ... What gloomy figures! ...
. What an infamous and vile scene... My God! My God! How horrible!
. ...
. Trapped in the links of a single chain,
. The hungry crowd staggers,
. And cry and dance there!
. … The tribe of naked men...
. They are the bold warriors
. That with the mottled tigers They fight in solitude.
. Yesterday simple, strong, brave. Today miserable slaves,
. No light, no air, no reason. . .
. | Negreiro Ship, CASTRO ALVES |
. The link forms the chain
. that weighs on the body that sings.
. Sings and carry your ancestry.
. The sound of rap is slave.
.
. Nina Lima | Brazil | 2024.
