Array ( [sid] => 39462 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fight for Freedom! [time] => 2004-03-20 11:37:48 [hometext] => I love to write about Native Americans because how they were wronged hurts me so deeply. I want to try to express how they must have felt. [bodytext] => We ride our painted ponies with pride
Refusing to go down without a fight
By no mans laws will we abide

Can they see no way of compromise
Freedom to live off the land is our right
We ride our painted ponies with pride

Across vast plains where many have died
We wish for peace with none in sight
By no mans laws will we abide

Again into battle we go side by side
Less and less come home by morning light
We ride our painted ponies with pride

For the sake of our future we must provide
Our children, our customs all feel the blight
By no mans laws will we abide

Our numbers are few, many women they cry
But still together we go again into the night
We ride our painted ponies with pride
By no mans laws will we abide

Somehow this poem reminds me of Geronimo and his band... their righteous fight against the deceitful diplomacies of the US government and the might of the US cavalry. But such is the price of pride and freedom that the ghosts of Geronimo and his men will only arise today to see their people either dead or confined to reservations as a conquered people. Wistful tales perhasp.. but maybe this same spirit of defiance in this poem can be used by ther generations to fight not by arms but by building their peoples up as a culture and an economic an political power. oh well just some thoughts...nice poem by the way.
