You say there is only
Room for you,
But we believe that
We can live here too
If you settle here,
What will we do?
You say we will
Live in reservations,
Far away,
In distant locations.
I ask, "What about our
Ancestors' souls living here?"
But you either ignore
Me or do not hear.
You say there is only
Room for you,
But we believe that
We can live here too
If you settle here,
What will we do?
It's not fair for us
You don't even care
Your greed will haunt you
Because of all this land you cannot share.
In the future,
You will regret
The decision you are making;
You will never forget.
You say there is only
Room for you,
But we believe that
We can live here too
If you settle here,
What will we do?
We are all tired,
We are all sore,
Walking across the country,
Too weak to declare a war.
You say there is only
Room for you,
But we believed that
We could live on that land,
We could live there too.
You kick us off our land,
And what more can we do,
When you force us to move,
Don't you want to live in
Peace, unity, and harmony too?

- I love it. The poem is an expression of what you feel, which is good, and it shows a lot of emotion. Keep writing. 5/5
