3 friends on a cosmic ship reaching the end of slavery

Large painted envelope around a diary fragment that goes like this:

Dear Cheryl,

3 friends on a cosmic ship
traveled from Nowhere to Africa’s breath

WHY, oh WHY shouted the people in Nowhere land

Because it’s better to be in KWA land

than in Nothingness country

answered the breakdown boat

& added: I’ll disintegrate when landing

& that’s a good thing, no mistake here!

The trio will join the wild animals

on the saxophone savannah

& hallelujah, servant-girls

will vanish together with landowners

but in a slight different order:

first the owners, then the girls.
