Feathers by Linda V

The rivers move much swifter

Than the winds across mountains high

Where green and lush great highlands

Meet blue and opaque sky

The prairies wide and open

Where great animals roam free

An ancient time before us

Where lived this mighty creed

Cities rose around them

Clogging far and wide

While feathers bright and glorious

Dance with ancient pride

The future seems uncertain

As your women turn to ghosts

Are lost to those who seek them

Across this nation coast to coast

White answers will not save them

More money’s just a shame

Peace remains elusive

And history’s to blame
