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.
