Listen to the White Man

by Jacklyn   Nov 8, 2005


Listen to the White Man
force feeding his beliefs
changing within a day
or walk the lonely tails

Agreements said and done
changing to be civilized
Immersed in a White Man's world
A new belief, a new God

Wear the White Man's clothes
walk within his shoes
learn to love an enemy
Trade your cultures souls

Listen to the White Man
feeding heartless lies
Forcing you to walk away
Ad the trails begin to cry

~The Trail of Tears~

    So true. My fifth great grandmother Morning Dove's parents walked that trail. I am 3/32 Cherokee

    Well done! I think of all the topics, this one would have been the hardest for me. It shouldn't be since I live in Oklahoma, but I really wouldn't know where to begin.
    You did a wonderful job on this. Conveying the emotion spectacularly! Keep it up~Holly
