Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Stripped of Their Land

Indians were once stripped of their land
An unconscionable act that's hard to understand
In this day and age
We've turned the page
But can't help being ashamed of the history firsthand

Daniel Turner February 6, 2020 at 10:50 AM I agree Jack. What we did to the native peoples is unforgivable. These days it's called ethnic cleansing. Jack Ellison February 6, 2020 at 11:49 AM Unconscionable without a doubt! Good morning Daniel my friend... have a great day!!!
