Syckie Sue

Lovely little Syckie Sue
A brown eyed Child
with a brown gal smile
Prancing about wildly
in her home town frock
Her inquiring mind protected
under her corn bread braids
Brave little Syckie Sue
Tumbling down Johny's hill
Stopping to wade in the lake
Extending a ritual journey
to the store
Knowing full well 
there'll be a switch waiting
back home at the door

Pieces of a Nation

Speaking of peace so loosely
It should be a curse when departed from our tongues
Our hearts are in contempt 
For the vengeful warriors we've become
We praise ourselves and persecute our fathers
Laying claim to possessions not earned
Boasting loudly of our victorious race
In constant fear of our demise
We search relentlessly for an alternate answer
For the true solution which we expertly avoid
Would make us as one in true peace
