Many years ago my forefathers left their homeland to start better lives
Lured by arkatis whom painted a perfect picture of nothing but lies
Some were forced to come & some came by choice of their own
With promises to their families, they'd be rich when they came back home
But the sad reality began to surface as their voyage began
Here, they were all put together, not even a curtain to separate women & man
These women whom were accustomed to covering their faces, now filled with so much humiliation
Their bodies bumped into each other when the ship swayed, no one could control the situation
Sickness, disease, suicide, which ever way death came
All still ended up been thrown into the water grave
They still had hope that things will be better once they arrived in Natal ...
