Poetry My Pa Was Never Slave

Slave?

My Pa was never slave.

And those who thought they made him slave, didn’t

Understand

The word.

He saw beyond the cottonfields and

Cornfields

That blinded

Their eyes;

Beyond the valleys, dark with their sins, the sunrise,

They

Could not conceive. This,

Pa knew.

This, I know.

-Harriet Wheatley
