as across this land they roamed:
How nature is not a place for us to visit
It is a place we should call home.

Different times
Different beings
We'll never know

We don't listen to Indigenous people's beliefs 
And their version of creation....

For every IOF soldier
so many dead babies
cries that never will never be heard
bloodthirsty lions sing and dance
while bull dozing indigenous graves
their bullets are vibrators
exciting them

Let them see,
Indigenous blood.
Overlook all madness
Let them see the partial son
Rise with pride, not sadness
If you gave,
My face their eyes,
A trait by shape,
And fashion,
Let them see my Cherokee,
Amid my given blackness....
