Blackwood Stone

On the stone is carved the names of my ancestors, those who never knew the sunrise, blinded by beings of darkness. They darkened their lives to satisfy the needs of infamous men even hell would reject. On the stone is carved the names of my ancestors, like the memory of a crime forever written. On the stone is carved the names of my ancestors, because the gods turned their backs on human rights. Praise their names. Raise your fist. Demand reparation.
