“catch a fyah” 
Amber Williams-King 

 

historical propaganda 

stolen memoranda 

  

bloodied baptizer 

genocide disguiser 

  

violence infester 

silenced ancestor 

  

grave-yard ships 

drowning lips 

  

sunken voices 

phantom noises 

  

beaten drums 

timely hums 

  

roaring hunger 

swallowed thunder 

  

rebel armour 

sage and farmer 

  

maroon runnah 

badman gunnah
