Oh Cheyenne Grandmother

Is your Heart on the ground?

You lover of oversized bicycles,

Buffalo candy, Horses and

"No habla Inglese" to the Ignorants,

The calvary officers who

Jailed you to

Rape

Mutilate

Murder

Your family

Your people

My people

My family

And later

Long after your body dusted the Earth

Before my assimilated arrival

Put your name

Without permission

Onto Internment, Oppression

Of yet another misunderstood culture.
