A poem by Thomas W. Talley

Destitute Former Slave Owners

________________________________________________
Title:     Destitute Former Slave Owners
Author: Thomas W. Talley [More Titles by Talley]

Missus an' Mosser a-walkin' de street,
Deir han's in deir pockets an' nothin' to eat.
She'd better be home a-washin' up de dishes,
An' a-cleanin' up de ole man's raggitty britches.
He'd better run 'long an' git out de hoes
An' clear out his own crooked weedy corn rows;
De Kingdom is come, de Niggers is free.
Hain't no Nigger slaves in de Year Jubilee.
