Crushed Black Orchids

This collection of poems has waited four centuries to be composed. Aiyeko-ooto unveils open secrets of the races. Many issues buried in the tombs have been unearthed. This makes everyone uncomfortable but with nascent pandemic, it has come to be dealt with! It is fated in evils and ills committed by transgressors, who put ships on open seas to discover peaceful natives on the other side of the Atlantic. Their exchange started friendly and commercial as batter before it graduated into speedy conquests. Impositions to sell natives into bondages on the return ships to West Europe and onwards to Americas' plantations. Humans became chattels and were sold on auction blocks. Trusts were betrayed, agreements broken, and sovereignty scattered. Aiyeko-ooto in 50 poems explore 5 moods: Pains, Fears, Uncertainty Turmoil, and Tragedy. It is time to sail across centuries of black pain, hardship and injustices.
