as i walk upon this ground—
your ground,
i suddenly miss you,
my native brothers.
the oak trees twist and turn
signaling the return of my soul
and the loss of yours
on behalf of my kind, i truly apologize
we stole your land
and murdered you all
your statement was right—
no one can own the Earth.
we have tried,
and look where it brought us.
now we are burning up
at the expense of prosperity
and sacrificing longevity
native american blood
flows deeper, beyond fossil fuels
underneath the fracking
there’s truth buried somewhere
i can feel it, i definitely can
i wish i could scream to everyone,
“they were right!”
i wish i could scream to everyone
i wish i could bleed myself
to show them what we have lost...
to show them who you have lost.
native american blood
dries and coagulates accordingly
to our war rules
native american blood
flows no longer
stagnant in our marginalized hearts
native american truth
was our last hope
