Who’s Land?

Looking across the vast land
I could see herds of buffalo
Stampeding across the plain
Followed by proud Indian warriors
Masters in their own domain.

Then, I blink.
What I thought were buffalo
Were actually thousands of bushes
And not an Indian in sight.

Ah yes, how could I forget
They were eradicated from their land
By a disease from the east,
The disease of expansion,
The disease of the white man?





18th September 2001, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States of America.
