'Morality advanced and slaves were freed'.
At any rate, steam engines paid off greed.
Look at the role the British Empire played.
The land of Watt did most to ban the trade.
We cover sins with loincloths of fig leaves.
Truth should be partying. Instead it grieves.
'Who's gonna pay for all of this? I ask'.
I hate our masquerades. Take off the mask.
They who can stare unflinchingly at death
should be as honest taking every breath.
