White Lies

Native tribe thrives, they share their lives

Native tribe's school, mother land's rule

Native tribe tries, white man speaks lies

White man makes rule, white man's hand cruel

Native tribe's toil, mother land's oil

White man spies fuel, white man's eyes drool

Tribe's land narrows, white man's arrows

Mother land dies, native tribe cries

White man's hand thrives, white man takes lives

Mother land cries, native tribe dies

Very well said, and it never ends, sadly.
