Hidden Story

The colonialists
Must have known
About the Greatness of Africa
So they called
A beach in Barbados Bathsheba

Imagine
A beach named after an African Queen
A name for a beach
On the east of the island
And it’s this eastside
That faces Africa

Eastside Story
Yes, especially this side of the sea
Has a story to tell
Of the journey
From Africa to America
A story that does not reach
Enough attention
A story that does not reach
Its oppressors

Only the oppressed
Have access to the truth
Recognise the story
And their allies
Their allies, too, must speak
So that those who need to hear it
Might listen

The colonialists
They must have known
That their story is dangerous
That is why now they don’t listen
To the consequences of their story.
