This Land Presents: We Are Still Here

[jylmama]

Great stuff! I love the way it lands on my ears...tenderly...

[russdall]

I shed shameful tears for thee You shed prideful tears for your past I can not explain the actions of my peoples You have eternal pride for a heritage that will last We build our homes and our cities Over the bones of your dead And hang our heads through our reading Of what our history books have said How would we feel if our lives were stolen From some strange force from over the sea The way your lands and lives were taken By the white man, just like me

[russdall]

No poem or words can say we are sorry

We can only hang our heads in shame

And pray to Our World’s Creator

That you can forgive us, for being insane

You are truly this nations greatest treasure

Our Creator grated you all that we see

And this is just my way of saying, Thank You

For sharing this great nation with me
