They came with sword and gun

Axe and plow

Shoving, grabbing!

What did they want?

Taking, stealing!

There's plenty for all!

Burning, raping, slaughtering!

Stop!

In tens of years

These men called Braves

Their tribes

Their nations

Wiped out.

No, no . . . not all.

Examples were kept

Corralled like slaves

Forced to keep to one place

Walk grass into dust.

See one view forever.

And to pass all their days

By their mothers' and fathers'

And grandfathers' graves.
