Louise Riveiro - Mitchell Poet I do not know?

Part of Our Country's History

I see your scars that time can't erase
 I hear the cries of a forgotten race
 The suffering and death that was felt by you
 The story that till now had been hidden from view
 They called you savages with no belief in God
 But how could these pious men have done what they did
 And still believe in  their God
 Women and children slaughtered as though they were wild game
 A country calling these men heroes we know them by name
 It's not too late for all to see
 It's time to write history with the truth for all to see
 We look for no honor or glory
 Just the right to tell the true story
 A story of a people who were proud and free
 And our true part in our country's history
