From the Pen of DeLois Buckley, Coming Soon: “Lucy, here,
Excerpt: “Lucy, here, 1703”
You were the chosen flower blossom that was chosen from many gardens.
Lucy, records have shown your descendants have had blood ties to the Virginian soil since the early 1600s.
You were among the sacred ones who were brought to this land.
“They were enslaved!”
They built a foundation that reached higher heights.
“What a despair too not to share?”
“What a dreadful past!”
They were true Americans where few can dispute.
Captured and validated by many eyes today.
With the many costs to humanity, generations were still born on land.
Truth came as a price and weighed in the flowing streams as sinful.
Lucy, with your castigating experiences, you planted the building blocks for generations to follow.
Lucy, you only knew how to serve.
Lucy, it was never part of your plan.
You came as Mary's property from the Winston ‘s Family.
Lucy, you were handed down in the family, from generation past.
You were her servant to serve, obey, and honor their words and duty.
Lucy, the household, quietly and deliberately took their liberties with you.
The Tate’s household placed your humanity into submission, and you endured depraved exploitations as a woman.
“Lucy, you were brainwashed to a poorly painted picture of America that was framed.”
“No matter!”
John came calling.
“Not just once but many.”
“The irony was troubling. Tate was a colonel in Washington’s Continental Army.”
