No one knows but the trees

Who was there  that day?

What happened here ?

They would ask

But no one knew

How did they feel that day?

Was someone being whipped or was someone sold?

Only the trees know

Was someone buried here or was someone killed?

We're they tied to the tree trunks to cut off their limbs 

Was history made here?

Is this where the inventor thought ?

Did Lewis Latimore sit under its leaves and talk to God.

Only the trees know.

Did the tree hide people who ran away ?

Did they give food to those who were hungry and shelter to those who had no place to stay ?

Only the trees know .
