The Voyage of Hell It was dark Hardly any light save for the open hatch The smell unbearable Urine, Defecation, and sweat Tall and proud his body covered in sweat - Black sweat His pectorals chiselled and strained against his chains as he cried out - “Nisaidie, tafadhaki” “Nimekasirika” “Moleafumie!” The boat heaved with the swells The human cargo endured. |
