The Devil's Grin Poem by Spiritwind Wood

You sit there in your politician suit
thinking of more ways just to take
with the devil's grin
and your hands buried deep in sin
you steal everything from us
with the promise's you make

While our people bleed
in a broken society
from hunger, despair, and poverty
you fill your hearts with greed
then wonder why we don't trust

You push us aside
treat us as if we came to your land
and took everything from you
though we tried to forgive
still you show no respect for our kind
and treat us with no dignity

Years of genocide
we struggled through
never to leave our own behind
but soon our time will come
as mighty warriors
we will make a stand
changing all that you done
no longer will we hide
in the shadow of the white man
we will once again live
