ruth
Inspired to take on giants, Far off fights turned real, Rebellion mustered in the sugar fields, Squashed all too soon. Grief and sorrow, Anger, hangings too, Masters show their might, Slaves submit. But across the seas, A different rebell…
Little boy, little girl Sleep-flushed cheeks, A small brown curl. A gentle hand, Caressing each small face, whispers of love, and a warm embrace. Little girl, little boy, Sleep well, do I know there's Someone Looking out for you.
