Homage To the Osage

Where the Osages' God almighty once reigned The almighty dollar their proud life- blood drained As man- made arteries pumped out the rich black oil Making a mockery of their sacred soil Their native American dream withered and died A bounty built on bodies the thieves satisfied Slick concords duped and dealt deceit Gilt edged profit a one way street Guilt hardened minds plundered their lands Blood and oil both besmirching their sands With their sacred lands profaned ,laid bare and dry Vengeance is their spectral spirits' only cry
