DARK ANGEL AND MOONLIGHT

MOONSTONES

Dark Angel started to laugh so loudly
as the ancient thunder hits the ground
soon the cold rain started pouring down,
no one made a sound.
It wasn't long I would hear the slaves crying
like they were dying,-
I didn't know what to do, I was so confused
Not knowing where it is I am at.
My body was in the hands of he that haunts me
he lied me down on a flat long rock,
I could hear the angry seas roaring like the waves
crashed upon the banks of this island,
the wind blowing hard because a storm is about to
reclaim the lands. Dark Angel turned and looked at the slaves
looking them all in the eyes as they weep so badly
while they were on hands and knees
saying to him to kill them or set them free.
I started holding my stomach because I was getting very sick,
he placed moonstones all over my body
and one on each eye,-
then he would ask me with a deep angry voice
tell me Moonlight, what it is you see?
I withheld my words because all I could do was cry
the pains were so bad.
