tormented souls came back
to collect an old debt
that was neva paid back,

this was katrinas message,
oya,godess of the winds
gatekeeper of the cemeteries,
who reminds us that death exists

travelled along the trans atlantic
slave trade,
where afrikans were thrown
to the the sharks
in to the ocean floors

tormented souls came back
to collect an old debt
that has neva been paid back

tormented souls came back
because like louisiana
where many afrikans that made
thru the mid passage,
landed in the plantations
and the sugar mills

among ruins and debrees
of old colonial louisiana
where afrikan slaves
were servants to rich french farmers
and plantation owners

katrina came during the labour week
to remind us about the suffering
of those tormented afrikan souls
roaming the areas of louisiana

oya,godess of the windess,
awaits for us in the gates of cemetaries
she also came to collect an ol debt
for those afrikans that worked for free
in the sugar mills
and in the cottom fields

that was her message to the world
all the afrikan tortured and beat to
death,

she also came back to remind us
that those that benefit from human misery
pain and suffering
wont escape the wheels
of incarnation,

tormented souls came back to collect
and old debt that was neva paid back
corpses
and rotten flash
among the ruins of time,
still there,
to remind humanity
against this huge crime,

katrina brought with her
the winds of change
like innocent afrikan anthony walker

who had an axe driven to his skull,
i can hear in the whispering winds
the cry for help
from our ancestors

could it be
that the world is becoming
more and more materialistic
and less humanistic?

or are we becoming more and more
fatalistic?

tormented souls came back for an old debt
that was neva paid back
across west indies,amerika and south amerika

where people toiled in the plantation fields
and afrikan women was raped
tortured and maimed

tormented souls came back for an old debt
that has neva been paid back.blkafro
