The American

On the Greatest country on this Earth The American, country of their birth Sioux, Cree Apache Native Indians all of thee For generations they hunt and live Summer bloom, Winter sieve Move their tribe on freedom lands Explorers show their poisonous glands Spaniards, British French too Expect to take your lands from you Many battles many deaths Arrows against weaponry strength Colonial life's as races bond Indian kids haired blonde Civilisation hope, wars fade Has this great country made the grade This country takes another turn Neighbours, fight and burn The North and South differ so Free the slaves, let them go Awesome words from Abe the man Freedom to all, his major plan But blinkered sight from those so grand Who actually owns this wonderful land Decades pass, the States grow Neighbour hoods flourish - flow American Hispanic, ***** too Europeans like me and you But sadly in the background mist The most important has been missed Do i need to tell you who they are? Indigenous Man, your ultimate clan They are The American http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/native-americans.php
