926：We of the South

We of the South By Henry H. Walker we of the South know loss, we know tragedy, for some of our ancestors bought their family’s future by enslaving humans into property, for some of our ancestors were stolen from their homes to serve as things, as tools, for others’ dreams, we of the South lost a war to continue a Devil’s bargain, we of the South won a war so that we could reach to be free, who we are in the South has incredible diversity about us: our food, our music, our sports, our childrearing, our relationships, there can be a wonder in opening to the other, of expanding who we can be, there can also be a disaster of losing ourselves, of burning the Cross rather than living the Sermon on the Mount. https://henryspoetry.blogspot.com/2018/11/hope-calls.html
