A plantation weddin
A plantation weddin
A mockery backdrop
Blood
Tears
Pain
Sufferin
Still you don’t give a shit
Right?
Do you think it’s a joke?
Like we should get over it?
You wanna marry your person
On this land where we got lynch
And slaughtered….
Somebody forgot to tell you
Or don’t care
That this place have slaves
This place carried the abuse and neglect
For so long..
It will haunt the bride and groom
It will cursed their vows with consequences
This venue should tell a real truth
About how slaveowners raped so
Many slaves
So many broken families
and years later
You got yourselves a weddin
Like get over it
But the trauma has paid so many visits
People who worked there now
Are tellin lies
I bet they are
Tourists took a walk in that cold area
Do they hear screams? Cries?
Do they see spirits walkin in anger?
America is hidin facts
Erasin them off the soil
Just like they did in textbooks
Somehow
Black people came to find
What’s really happenin…..
We should of keep the plantation
And tells the whole truth….
and that we shouldn’t allow anybody to
Have a weddin as sarcasm
Slaves died
That land
Actually stolen land
Carried death
The grudges
They wanna be free….
And nottoway plantation
Has let its evil self go….
That cruel manison let all the souls
Drift off with their loved ones now
May they rest in peace and power….💯✊🏿©️ Kai C. 5-19-25
