Trail of tears



The paths they walked are worn, and littered with the blood of their dead.

It's long trail cursed with the souls of the innocent people that died

for the sake of white man's greed and hatred.

The children left parent-less by this horrific act grew up

to be formed into what white man wanted them to be.

The souls of the forsaken left to haunt the trail, it's

bloody tale told for all to hear. Still no one

weeps at the stones of those who died.

The hearts of her people broken for ever more, for America

never wanted her natives to be murdered.


The legend of the Trail of tears is woven into her rich history, amongst all the other

horrific tales of her native people.

Amongst todays fight of the race war you rarely see her Natives fighting

for the rights they still haven't gotten after over 200 years.

Yet they are quietly living and dying as they have done

for centuries.

But the Trail of tears will never die, it will never disappear

It's bloody tale seeping through to show

the next generations of all the pain she once bore....


the trail of tears...
