White Indian Killer called my name
to see if he could accept the blame
for killing off the Redstick men
at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend,
White Indian Killer, it’s too late
for you to renegotiate,
Muscogee land was not for sale
now you will always burn in hell;
White Slave Owner called my name
to see if he could accept the blame
for buying and selling West Afrikan people
under protection of Mobile’s steeple1,
White Slave Owner, it’s painfully late
for you to resolve ungodly mistakes;
without the comfort of ill-gained wealth
you too now burn in the pit of hell
*******
1 Reference to the coastal city of Mobile in Alabama (a major slaveholder state)
where white churches endorsed and participated in the buying
and selling of human beings on the auction block in the downtown center.
