Who are you to judge the life I live?<br /> I know I&#039;m not perfect<br /> -and I don&#039;t live to be-<br /> but before you start pointing fingers...<br /> make sure you hands are clean!&rdquo; bob marley


Hunting and seeking for my supper,
Search and search or I face hunger,
What is that I hear?
It’s no hoof of a goat, something else,
A for legged beast with hair appears,
Something that I’ve never seen in Africa anywhere,
Upon it was a ghost wearing flashy clothes,
And appeared more ghosts and four legging beasts,
And a moment comes when there are chains on my wrists, rope around my neck,
The ghost shouts “Easy slave easy”,
Don’t go in the woods, or you’ll be taken,
Just like the woods took me.

after watching the episodes of a 1977 show called "Roots", I was inspired to show the world how one of the characters must have felt when being captured.
