Trail of tears

Folder: 
Poems for School

This white man

leader of all

thinks he can take my land

and leave me to fall



I think I should stay

to prove I can fight

beat him in every way

and prove that it's not right



Everything I own is here

food, water, family and more

I fear my death is near

they will beat me to my core



Please white man leave me to be

I am doing no wrong

why can't you see

this is where I belong

This was a history poem about the trail of tears which led to many deaths of indians.  It also left them without homes.
