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 Music Navajo Song of the Earth Spirit (Traditional)
