Spiritual

Living in the reservation
Must have been habitual
Colonization – segregation
This is so spiritual
I can’t bear this anymore
Yet I have to carry on 
Doing things I did before
In the years long gone 
But it’s not the same, it has
Worsened over measure
Set a picnic on the grass
Try some thoughtless pleasure
Read some poetry, accept
Someone’s deep insights 
Anyway, I shall forget
Their spiritual heights 
When the sun goes down, I go
To my secret place
There’s no secret in it, though
Just an old man’s face.
