   “Black lament”
   “Negro is soaked in sweat. Negro’s hand is all but callouses. Oh, mister, Negro is too old, Negro can’t handle this hard, dry and dusty land anymore…” The choir goes: “keep working, keep working Negro.”
   A well know song against racial exploitation… Kind of “Strange fruit” down here, but people don’t get to be hanged, just left to die exhausted.
