A Tribute To Those Who Walked the Trail of Tears

My BROTHERS --the Cherokee ---you may refer to me as cross-breed-- or not. As an ancestor ----if it’s your aspiration? My Grandmother----half Cherokee- half Blackfoot----as the old tales were told. Citizenship with your sovereignty —till she was three—that I discovered- with-in her descendants origin. My Grandmother ---bought off your reservation after your----- relocation. Bought by my Grandfather a “white-man” -------to the root!! 172 years belated —consider this --a cross-breeds apology--an accolade --to your entire- nation. A nation and PEOPLE-- forcibly removed in 1838-----by the U.S. Government. Hundreds of Cherokee died----- Who Walked the Trail of Tears. A NATION and PEOPLE-- vehemently abolished in 1838. By the U.S. Government---with-in President Andrew Jackson’s administration. Consider this a cross-breeds apology --with a symbol- ----eternally existing. Of the anguish and affliction on the Trail Where They Cried--- the symbol of the Cherokee- rose--that still grows------- that still grows! Consider this a cross-breeds Tribute to Those Who Walked --that Trail --filled with- Cherokee Tears. No words can justify-- no expression can advocate --- what Jackson’s administration- arranged. No apology, no apology, would seem adequate or tolerable---to ONE human race. Notably ----your NATIVE RACE!! Innumerable thousands have spoken their inadequate and intolerable claims. Knowing only one and only one-- honest, respectful, faithful, and trustworthy vindication- would have sufficed. Consider this-- cross-breeds desire for -----Forgiveness. Forgiveness for any ancestral involvement---in the mass genocide of your civilization. Healing our nation --from OUR CURSE—must embark from hear—hear at forgiveness. Forgiveness extended by --OUR CREATOR---to our race and yours. By : WEM/MEW/EWM
