Do you know how many
were turned into dust
by monsters and killers
known as cowboys to us?

Why are they superior?
Why did they rule?
What trick of nature
let them be so cruel?

Inferior races
that they saw far and wide
were murdered for money
and their own selfish pride.

There were no questions,
there was no concern
for any of the natives
they were allowed to burn.

Whole villages ravaged
and families torn,
the rest relocated,
not allowed to return.

They took them back east
bound with chains and tight twine
to die in the fields
that they once thought divine.

Sold them in batches
for dollars and dimes.
Did anyone care
about such crimes?

The alien diseases
Upon the aliens loosed
How could they, pale, dying
Not take a punishing truce?

If you want your freedom
you must be like us
or else be berated
and treated like dust.

There never was payback.
Today they must live
on those reservations
we so graciously give.

Their culture is broken.
Their land forever stained.
Why are they punished,
the dying and maimed?
