FOSSILIZATION
once there was an ocean of slaves
sinking slowly beneath the waves
the ship of progress sailed on,
cities built , profits made
foundations of reputations laid
without so much as a backward glance
abolitionists rising up
helped fill the compensation cup,
now who looks back down the path they walk
at the faces like fossils in the chalk?
