I just returned from Ghana and the guide up there has told me everything about the Slaves beat from Ghana's past time, while I was in that darkest dungeon in Elmina, Ghana, Africa. You showed us how racism works. Thank you so much for this, Richard,

Without naming the racial prejudice or racism even once, you have revealed the scourge of the ills quite forcefully. The reality is mind-blowing. Thank you, Richard.

When a fellow poet uses the term mind-blowing, it's a huge compliment. Thank you so much, Rajnish!
