We can’t take them back
Their cries already ignored
Boats delivered murder
By guns, disease and sword
Ever pushing forward
In search of more reward
Broken promises betrayed
The trust in your accord
Beat down any rebellion
By sowing the seeds of discord
Masters of death and starvation
Even beyond the Golden Horde
All done with Bible in hand
And in the name of your Lord
Better this place was left alone
In peace and unexplored

Poignant piece about the dark side of life. Really well written and speaks volumes.

Facebook has been popping up lots of posts from Native Americans since I clicked like on one post a month or two back. Frustrating and inspiring reading. Whilst I’m writing about the dark side of life, I’m aware that I am lucky enough not to be living it. Thanks Eugi 🙏

I feel reading about the dark side of life brings on awareness and makes us appreciate the life we are living. 🙏

Not at all, my friend. I have been facing some personal and physical challenges. If anything, reading your, and everyone else’s, great works brings me pleasure when I am feeling a bit too beat up.
