Would Not Be Lost (Ekphrasis In Couplet Form)
Moving to the beat of a Spiritual dance
Floating to the grace of a Spiritual trance
Finding our way through a Spiritual door
The creator knows what we are dancing for
To a Spiritual warrior who is a chosen one
Apache Warrior was feared for things he done
They took raping their land as no joke
God knows I truly do admire them folk
Fight fire with fire and instill some fear
Fought for their land they loved so dear
He fought for his land and his way of life
White man slaughtered his children and his wife
Honest people defeated by the white mans lies
Forked tongues with an endless supply of alibi’s
Praise be to the Elders who paid the cost
To ensure their heritage would not be lost
