Lest We Forget.....
Turtle Island...is what it was called
revered by it's people,eventually appalled
Here long before the european invasion
lest we forget from historical persuasion
A nomadic culture whom lived with the seasons
disrespect to nature,to them was high treason
Crossing a landbridge,enduring migration
new home was found with much invigoration
Difference of belief,shouldn't be termed as primitive
all within the universe is found to be relative
Chief's and wise men orally told
which continued their story as nuggets of gold
Ancient cultures and races,were once,
as they pass with the stars and the setting sun.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" All things are connected...whatever befalls the earth,
befalls the children of earth......"
Chief Seattle
Suqwamish and Duwamish
