Sand Creek

Sand Creek;

the truth dances like a ghost,

a mighty whisper on the wind,

who will hear the voices,

who will right the wrong;

hard to love,

when so much injustice abounds,

hard to forgive,

when innocent blood

runs across stolen ground;

you can never escape the past,

it follows you like a shadow,

it softly surrounds you like a glove,

it slowly becomes a part of who you are,

all the treachery and cowardice revealed,

their souls laid bare,

the self-made bravado and false heroics,

silently exposed;

sons of murderers,

daughters of liars and thieves,

descendants of swine,

a little lower than dogs,

somewhat less than human;

without honor,

without dignity,

without hope;

their homes built upon the hypocrisy and greed,

their tongues filled with the misconceptions and lies,

their legacy standing like a wavering deck of cards,

waiting to crash down on their guilt-ridden heads;

Sand Creek remembers.
