My Feet Tread Upon Ancient Ground. 29/07/2008
My feet tread upon ancient ground,
Dust of decades passed puff up and around my feet,
...
I am Black Hawk, you say who,
Black Hawk i reply,
You the white man can not hide your shame,
Time that's ever lasting will not erase your guilt,
...
I am The Sunrise I am the Sunset I am the Eternal Light.
My spirit flickers like the flame of a candle that never extinguishes,
In life I was as fragile as a crystal glass,
I humanized with the rhythm of life,
...
Our country was taken from us by people from a distant land,
They came in great canoes,
...
Nessameiek (liars)
So many lies,
So many different versions,
All orated from the same place,
...
The drums still beat,
The songs are not silent,
Feet are still in rhythm with the drum,
The dance still sends the dust up into the atmosphere,
...
Horse man of yesterday ride upon horses that disappear into tomorrow,
They make no sound, only in visions can they be seen,
...
