The pawsoldier seemed to be saying something with that look. It got me to thinking about military history and racial segregation. What would have happened if, in exploring the Earth, humans had found another species? How would humans formerly on the bottom of the heap respond to getting bumped up a rung?
"Pawsoldiers" is told by a black man who, remembering his own slave days, gradually gets more and more upset by the way the dogboys are treated. This is a ballad, like many of the old plantation songs, and its vocabulary matches the mood of the time.
