They sought
across the meridian
They even came from the Caribbean
and have made ink in the Tribune
Prime mover
better than Herbert Hoover
better than the Grand Cooley Dam
they has all sorts of Jam
Who are they?
Indiana blooded
but not *****
from great tribes
but not trying to hide
or get in another side
The number one selling book
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
by Dee Brown
and voices heard from the incident
by that name
despite these they still don't make a big deal
about a strain of blood
but to di they just probably don't want to go thee
in the mud
of the king of blood
Immortal life
is on their minds
when, for example
they get that song line like me aimed at them
"Can music save your mortal soul"
Oh well some weird kind of projection.
1- from the Don McLean song "American Pie"
