Dear CNN.com/Freedom project, I am delighted at your effort to show the world the breadth, width and depth of slavery even in this digital age. Please continue in this project to redeem the world from the clutches of wickedness and man's inhumanity to man.I am sending one of my poems titled "The Monster of Darkness" from published in the collection: The Gods Are So Silent and Other Poems, to encourage the freedom team of CNN who have made it a duty to use their media to preach anti-slavery.

The Monster of Darkness
Whistle a cry
Clap your hands and yell
Oh, yell and howl from rooftops
Ring the bells and roll the drums of war.
Clap your hands and yell
Oh, yell and howl from rooftops
Ring the bells and roll the drums of war.
With tongues like spears shoot our noises
And wake the neighbourhood to flee
To hilltops for the monster of darkness
Grovels to confuss the humble and meek.
And wake the neighbourhood to flee
To hilltops for the monster of darkness
Grovels to confuss the humble and meek.
The real intent is to lie and lead into dungeons
Where darkness blinds our eyes and manacles our limbs
Oh, monster of darkness you bind everything in chains
And your nickname is slavery.
Where darkness blinds our eyes and manacles our limbs
Oh, monster of darkness you bind everything in chains
And your nickname is slavery.
