The Big Iron Express
The Big Iron Express
will make its way
between corn and wheat,
To finally see no differences in meats
But the Big Iron Express is
painted with bloody red
The blood of our foreign brothers
that fought for our rights
was mixed with the blood of our masters
Come Big Iron Express
come that the grass seems greener
on the other side.
The Big Iron Express
will go through
rivers and mountains,
To finally be free
and see the light again.
But until the Big Iron Express
hasn't come to get me
I shall wait until the day comes
and with the help of the Lord
My friends will be with me too
when I board freedom.

This slave has some education, for his knowledge on technology and religion is high enough to express himself like this. I wrote this to represent the small group of slaves that were educated by their masters, but the Civil War changed their lives.Thanks for reading.
