In the land of running water
modern Indians use a faucet.
One time would resort to buckets
say:"how" now say: "**** it!"
Buy up condos bye bye tipi
encased in concrete though get
weepy, thinking of plains life
and the bison, chiefs were heroes
not a-holes like Tyson. God knows
how today’s life's all planes
and trips to Disneyland. Deplaning
in sinfully costly trainers
as if to mock our sins.
Some may think of complaining
to the skies once lorded by eagles.
It's come to this once we were
reigning alone – thanks. Now
we're hyphenated Yanks.

Another very entertaining look at history, thanks for sharing it
The epic's very personal and very heavy. I hope it doesn't disturb anybody who reads it; it's important to remember the poem was written with hindsight
I think I'll have to comment on this tomorrow when I'm more composed and I have more distance from such an incredibly moving piece.
