Lost Pride.

Chickasaw warrior…Apache brave Chimed echo from recent pasts Rawhide clad of bow and stave Our iconic figure now cast Roaming prairies open plains Selfless equal within nature A simple life of a people proud Societies of ancient stature Cherokee warrior…Arapaho brave Awakened into midnight battle Blue eyes aim down the thunder sticks Reaping from cavalry saddles Shunned showpieces of society Called examples of a savage pride Crushed of tyrannical booted propriety In the federal wastes to reside Tillamook warrior…Shoshone brave Hunted through the very last stand Forced to the brink of identity lost Imprisoned in fenced desert sands Allow the great spirits to soar the skies A birthright given back anew This aspiration for the tribes we hold Sadly realized by consciences few Indian warriors…fighters brave Truest peace I offer my hand Headdress upon the shadowy brow Those great tribes once roaming the lands.
