Becoming foreigners

Amidst their poor land
Where their roots born
Ancestors' cherished land
Their identities shifting
Became foreign hearts.

I find this sad. A person needs to keep his home.

I bet the land remembers. Where my ancestors lived (Iroquois and French) on a reservation is now an airport.

I think the Apaches, Choctaws and other indigenous peoples of various lands would agree. So sad
