Shotgun Notice
They came to claim their intentions
They came to take our land
They came with great expectations
They thought that they could tie our hands.
With money and promise of a new home
They thought that our lives, our history, our happiness, our security could be bought.
But, as you can see by the smoke from the barrel of this shotgun
They were clearly wrong with that thought.
