The Unheard Voices In Jamestown
Vacationing in Virginia,
The beginning of history,
Started in Jamestown when,
America was young.
Taking a walking tour,
Noticing things out of the ordinary.
I'm wondering do they see it,
The same things I do.
A question is asked about,
The slave quarters?
I answer the question by saying,
They're behind the church.
The tour guide is speechless.
He says no one knew that,
Until 3 days ago.
I explain the slave quarters are,
Always away from the main house.
The tour guide said you pointed,
Right where they're digging,
The settlement that they found.
All eyes are on me.
I sense spirits in the area.
These spirits are restless.
They walk among us and,
They only want to tell their story.
