I would like to here your poems. Here is my example.
Chippewa Chippewa
Chippewa, Chippewa where have you gone?
You’re not by the lake or river or pond
We need you now to teach us the way
Before the price is too high that we pay
Iroquois, Iroquois where are you now
You’re not in the fields or by the plow
The white man came and forced you away
Come back to the game now, we need you to play
We need you to come back and show us the way
We need you to show us to respect our mother
To stop stripping her bare for we have no other
She’s taken good care of us through all of the years
Now she is sick and sees smog through her tears
Cherokee, Cherokee why can’t we see
That we are disgusting the powers that be
With our greed and our weapons, our big oil money
Are killing our trees and our bees
That make honey
Americans, Russians and all of the rest
Go back to beginnings, we can be the best
The best life force that ever did live
But back to our mother we truly must give
Here is a poem sent in by Saria enjoy
Through the fields and open planes
A note rose above the peak
A note so high, distinct it came
A nearby mouse squeaked my name
Wolves howled, wild cats screamed
There was no end to the din so it seemed
Abruptly it stopped and began again
This time there was no sound
With a twinkle the light, it came
It spread it’s golden wings over the horizon
There came my brother, so bold, so proud
To fight me off, to stand his ground
To try to win a whole round
He never wins it all you see
Half the earth belongs to me.
Where my land ends and his begins
Is sometimes difficult for us as twins
Sometimes neither will end the battle
The sun and the moon combine
Then our father the almighty
Must put a stop to this fight
He cannot see without light
But he cannot deny me my right
At the end of the day
My brother lost his battle
To the wind you whisper my name
Artemis
