Beat me til I’m stiff
In the ground, I lay my soul
To rest, finally.

Welcome to Day 27 of Black Poetry Writing Month (aka BlaPoWriMo)! BlaPoWriMo is a month-long challenge to write a poem every day during the month of February (Black History Month) related to Black history, Black people, or the Black experience.

Today’s optional prompt is: Write a poem about the nature of slavery.
