I usually come here to read his articles – what happened? Please tell me he’s on vacation and there will be a new article here next week.

Has proclaimed that I’m free, I heard,
Called it an emancipation,
A really fancy sounding word.
Some say the word is just a trick
To try to win the Civil War.
Some say that freedom just got sick
Of calling us slaves anymore.
Old times here are not forgotten.
I was, I am, and I will be
A slave in the land of cotton.
No word is gonna set me free.

I’m heading north to make my stand
To live and die in a free land.
