American Land

What is the cost
or who is the boss 
where is the membership to get in
the real blood of America is native American
those who dance with feathers 
have spears in their hands
their grandparents where the ones 
kicked off their native lands 
I guess it just depends 
on how you look at things and the way money spends
we bleed the same blood we cry the same tears 
what is the color of skin
we are only human we have a right to sin
only when you ask for forgiveness 
is when 
you will be forgiven. -TA
