Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
During the Civil War, money came late,
Indians starved, left to their fate.
Two braves came across a white farmer's food.
They were hungry and stressed and in a bad mood.
Little Bear picked up an egg, Grey Elk said no.
Some things we can't do, some places can't go.

Those Braves
Those Braves
As pearls remain in sea bed
Braves should be sieved from bravery
yes, the perfection of job can win
By the parameters of human hearts
Those braves did earn from zeroes
Never expected perks and rewards
titles and classes did not pour there
Who they are hearties or braves !
One notion and single motion in faith and path
Always guided them ahead
