Poem by Eunice Turner DAD Will this morbid pain ever subside? How can it? Soon, MY DAD, the center of my universe, wil be gone. I will not be able to find him no matter how hard I try! He will no longer be found on the face of this earth, ever. He made my world complete. A world essential! Who will tell me about the history of my people? Only he could reach back hundreds of years and bring unknown ancestors alive in my mind. He spoke of ancestors who lived long ago. Generations of ancestors, who had no knowledge of or desire to embrace a foreign land? Ancestors stolen and sold by men of GREED. These foreign and hostile shores would be drenched with blood for hundreds of years.  Unfriendly shores, even, today. Who will step up to take his place?  NOTHING BUT SILENCE! How do you replace an Oracle of a people?  You can't! DAD KNEW
