Time Speaks Before Us
Different times
Different beings
We'll never know

And their version of creation....

so many dead babies
cries that never will never be heard
bloodthirsty lions sing and dance
while bull dozing indigenous graves

Native American
Let them see,
Indigenous blood.

A trait by shape,
And fashion,
Let them see my Cherokee,
Amid my given blackness....
