Names etched in walls of marble and stone
Statues and buildings erected in tribute
Of causes deemed worthy of praise
Glory and honor to the fallen
Celebrate those who answered their calling
Where’s my monument
The celebration of my people
That testament of our near annihilation in captivity
Where are the shackles that bound us
The memories we lost
The remnants of the ships that brought us over
To be destroyed
