i hear the voice of the cherokee
crying out in the night
i hear the voice of the lone wolf answer
is this also my light
on the horizen of many moons
i see the ledgends and hear them speak
i cry the tears of the cherokee
they run freely down my cheek
you cannot take back
what you have lost...
or what has been taken from you
you can only ask the spirits
to somehow see you through
for it is written in cherokee blood
spilled upon the land...
i am the blood left standing
i hold the future in my hand
i will not crawl or gravel
meekly this time
but i will not be denied..
that witch is mine
my forefathers left the spirits
to guide me to this place..
perhaps to prove you
i am also part of this human race
so i look in the eye
meet my gaze forthright
i am declaring my heritage
my birth and my right
i will not speak with tongue that is forked
i know what i must due
you do not give me anything
i have earned my due
dont stand on your throne of empowerment
and claim how generouse you have been
where you have been sinned
unless you have the blood
of the cherokee coursing through your veins
do not pass judgement on me
do not cursed accusations speak my name
i am the love that lay in the hearts
of all cherokee that walked the trail
i am the love of the cherokee
when i hear the spirits wail
take what you will,but remember
i am protected like you
and all the spirits of cherokee...
with your god too
God of the earth
God of the sky
God of the sun and rain
all the gods of the cherokee...
know my name
i have summed the spirits
to take mercy on your soal
the spirits have spoken...
the story is told.

Quite a poem here. Did you incorperate your heratage into this, thought of ading it since cherokee, along with many other tribes, have suffered due to the unfair game played by the goverment?
Still, it's a good poem, pretty hard hitting. - Report As Spam
