and now you ask that i should watch
the red mans race be slowly crushed
but what words are these to hear
from yellow dog; whom white man fears.
i love manifest destiny and everything that is america, but if i were a blue coat in eighteen sixty seven i'd side with the people who simply want to be alive. i'd be off the reservation, i'd have gone native, but i'd die with people who were better than all of us.
i love america. i also love america accepting people and not, like, whether they knew what disease was they still understood that their filth was killing people. the folks who held the land took it by force and held it by force. they lost simple math when europe landed.
