Black and Brown-skinned peoples, both imported and indigenous, were enslaved and/or hunted and forcibly removed in order to build an earthly paradise not meant for them.

Song of Freedom © 2020 Ambiguous

No lights shining bright enough
Our eyes squint and strain.
Where’s the truth they say will set us free.

Where’s the path worth following?
Our footsteps vanish in the dust.
We almost see freedom in the stars.
Who turned out the lights?

Our skin breaks with the cracking whip.
Our only food is sighs.
If only the light was a little brighter.
Who turned out the lights?
