Live was never easy for dear, sweet Jane
Who arrived in Montana by wagon train -
Smoking cigars, drenched in over-priced booze;
The young groupie a respite from my wife - -
The Treaty of Fort Laramie granted the land
To the Arikara, Hidatsa, and Mandan. -
Each man had made the choice to volunteer;
To face the challenge and show no fear. -
United at last, Rome looks to the east
To where the Imperial Eagle flies. -
Great Tambora, the young sleeping giant awakes
And grumbles loudly about his long fitful sleep; -
A Jew stepped from his secretive hide;
He'd been safe from Nazi's while inside. -
Passing swiftly by the frightened fatted calf
I prepare mentally to take my chance -
Rome's great governor sought to usurp the Iceni Queen
Once staunch, independent allies of the Empire; -
The dirty long-haired freaks asked for trouble
Marching to protest the visiting Shah, -
For eons their ancestors lived in this land
Hunting, fishing, farming and raising their young. -
I reach back across the grey gulf of time
To when Americans fought in a strange land -
Mad King Ludwig reigned over Bavaria
Spending fortunes on opulent palaces. -
The majestic bull mammoth shakes his great head;
Around him lay the hunters, crippled and dead. -
She was the most dangerous woman in the land,
A disease ridden soul who did not understand -
The last time that I saw brave Sergeant Hilary
Was just before a barrage of artillery. -
Two mighty navies met in Abu Qir Bay;
One would be driven off, and the other would stay. -
Kill them all and burn their wretched bones!
It’s an opiate for the masses. -
I can still recall that fateful night.
It was dark and cold, and we were weary -
I am an inmate of the third generation.
Born in the Yodok Camp – a total control zone. -
I've resisted their cruel efforts for so long
Each day they bring me down to the cold brick room -
On an isolated hilltop near Pripyat Marsh
In an empty landscape that’s both barren and harsh; -
We must remember the late Colonel George Amstrong Custer
Known for his flowing golden locks and his racist bluster. -
Thomas Prince, was born on Lake Winnipeg in a canvas tent
He moved to the Brokenhead Reserve when his family went. -
She billed herself as exotic temptress of Asian dance

Sent to Sioux Country to safeguard the Bozeman Trail;
The honorable Captain William Fetterman -
Since the time of the great glaciers, we have occupied this land;
Once warmed by amber fires, unaware of coming darkness. -
Emily could never be called a dilettante
Indeed, she is better known as a militant. -
The 345th flew onward towards Milan
Its flight commanders were aware of the plan -
At the edge of the encampment, they embrace;
A Comanche warrior and his bride. -
She was returning straight from Tinian alone
When the predator sub I-58 found her -
T he Revolution had barely begun,
I n need of cannon; the rebels had none. -
Outside of San Sebastian, tears fall on cobblestones.
A nation of martyrs weeps over Juan Gerardi's bones. -
The Crow have been on this land since No-Vitals.
Earth was our mother; no need for legal titles.
