Wrote while watching Dancing with wolfs.

Oh how I wish I could set free the native American Indian with pride and dignity taking them back across the great open plains to their sacred home in the lush green vallies where buffalo are plentiful and roam so the Indians can live in peace one with nature once more where the eagles soar setting them free as the wind wild untameable as a magnificent stallion running toward the setting sun.

this is so beautiful, Peter. I wonder if you have some ancestors with native american ancestry that make you want to write so compassionately of them. I have just a wee bit of Cherokee in me and have always felt an affinity for that tribe when I hear stories such as the Trail of Tears. I hope to keep seeing you here at Soup. I really like your style!
