Short Geronimo Poems

The portriats
On the wall
Trembling in fear
From the shadows of
The gray-ghosts of Geronimo...

I talked to the leaves
told them how I fell to earth
when I said, "God please"!

Geronimo Stomp
That has a nice ring to it.
Go Barry Darvell.
What a catchy melody.
A record from yesteryear.

One parachute for the two, their last chance
  Vladimir Putin and Yu-Kay-Rain Dance
    Let the brave Indian go!
    His nickname's Geronimo
  Fury flashed in Putin's molten-red glance...

Geronimo trotted from lair to lair,
So disgusted with the length of his hair.
At each new spot he dug it deep,
Hoping for some cold to seep.

The sun ablaze found each hole,
And from its depth drove the cold.
And so the day from spot to spot,
Though dug deep contained only hot....

Me, me, Geonimo...
Don't know what way...
White man go...

Smoke'em signals...
Smoke'em pipe....
You run us off,
You kill squaw wife,

Steal our land,
Kill great Buffalo for fun,
We gott'em little chance,
Arrow against gun

Some day we get
Revenge real good,
Mak'em casino
In our hood....

You los'em shirt,
You los'em wife,
You los'em bet
Who win in this life....

Those cowboys chased him ’cross the land
What a shame they hadn't planned
The man accused of rape and pillage 
Made it to a distant village
Leather boots effecting entry
Every shack discovered empty
Save for one where ‘mum’ was cooking
Cowboys moved on, elsewhere looking
Who could know Geronimo
Would ever wear a kimono
And stand there cooking chicken dippers
Wearing bright pink fluffy slippers...

He was rsised in New Mexico
and became feared more than Geronimo
The army enlisted  him as a brave
to track down other braves.
Accused of many crimes
he escaped many times.
He led many raids
with his four braves.
He didn't trust his tribe 
so he stayed on the outside.
People say he died
in a fight with soldiers
others say he died in his cave.
Even ranchers claim 
to have killed the brave
down in New Mexico way
after a raid....

They lived on the plains
and in the mountains.
There was warriors
and peaceful tribes.
All wore ornate head dresses
for their celebrations.
Dancing around fires
for successful hunts 
and to tell stories.

Some helped pioneers
others hated pioneers.
White men sent them on a trail
full of heartbreak and death on this trail. 
Just government could sell
their land to another soul.

You had greats like sitting bull
and Geronimo who fell.
Sequoiah who taught school....
