Angel Bones

Angel Bones Two Hundred fifteen angels (Narration by an elder) each buried in a shallow grave The monsters said the Angels were savages that they were there to save Each little heartbeat cries up from the earth “Come seek out our answers. (Narration by child) please prove that we have worth” “Those who survived us have tried to be our voice. Why have they been silenced? Please listen it’s a choice.” “Return us to our families, so they can beat the drum. Then our spirits will find peace, in the place that we are from.” “The world must know the truth, the Government didn’t know best. They fed us to pale monsters, we were cursed instead of blessed.” “Yes cruel pale faced monsters, robed in uniforms of black. Pretended to be Godly, while perpetrating their attack.” “Touching our little bodies, telling us we were blind. Deriving their cruel cruel pleasures, monsters of a different kind.” “The school was their playground, these monsters had their way. Each time we tried to speak, there was a price to pay.” (Drum beats) thump thump, thump thump, Thump thump, thump thump Thump thump, thump thump (Native elders singing) The bones of our innocent Angels (Narration by Elder) that they buried beneath the ground. Their spirits speak in unison Without emitting a single sound Each little heartbeat Cries up from the earth “Come seek out our answers, (Narration by child) please prove that we have worth.”
