Displaced--The Trail of Tears --- REVISED

Time Period~~1830-1850 As rain falls hard and soaks the ground and thunder roars its mighty sound, so tears of the displaced may fall, our cries bespeaking dearth and pall. The Deep South tribes of long ago were forced to forge a trail of woe, of death and want, with goods so small, our cries bespeaking dearth and pall. We Cherokees were brought to tears when forced from land we'd held for years, no longer standing strong and tall, our cries bespeaking dearth and pall. The rugged journey thousands made to Westward land should never fade from memory. All must recall our cries bespeaking dearth and pall. on behalf of our tribe, the Cherokees, and the many other tribes who were displaced
