American Buffalo

Where have all the bison gone shot by Sharps shooters nearly every one where have all the shooters gone done away by Indians more than some the red man revered the buffalo of God's abundance living proof to the white who sent them to the not-so-happy-hunting grounds a gold mine on the hoof the paleface ways in olden days long gone were somewhat less than perfect and should be frowned upon to soldiers bison were target practice indigenous people to quell while hunters killed for the hides by 1884 the Black Hills buffalo death knell lies were spoken treaties broken but revenge was none too soon at hand Sioux Cheyenne Arapaho attacked and briefly turned the tide on what was their rightful land beside the Little Bighorn one frightful day at Custer's last stand
