The Warning

The poem makes the connection between the slave and Samson. It says "there is a poor blind Samson in this land" It also says "the poor blind slave". Meaning the slave and Samson were similar if not exactly the same, for instance the were both fighting for freedom as shone in this line "Till the vast Temple of our liberties". In the next line "A shapeless mass of wreck and rubbish lies" it most likely meaning the slavers would lose there own freedom because they had slaves
