The Return To Rotgut Part 6 the End

Then the man without a name Approached me, from the crowd He looked me in the eye And I heard his say out loud That what happened there that day The spirits of the mound Have finally found a way To recapture scared ground I broke down into tears As I felt I must confess "Listen to me Shaman, I'm more guilty than the rest It was a dozen years ago When the Army was my life And we came and killed your people I was part of all this strife " "But you were something different" As he reached into his pocket Holding in his hand Was a shiny silver locket As I took it from his hand And looked inside to see A picture of a Squaw Standing over Me. "When your mother died You were taken from her hand You were raised by whites Then returned to take our land" "So, why was I spared Why me and me alone" He just pointed to the mound "Cause what you've written on a stone" The END
