SIGNALLING

What message are you sending, Indian Brave?
Is it about a world that we should save?
Do you see us squandering all our wealth?
Do you see us taking the world by stealth?
Do you mourn the death of native crops?
Are you thirsty when the river stops?
Do subdivisions decimate your land?
Are White Men all too slow to understand?
*
Your messages, unseen, hang on the air,
Smoke signals that should make us all aware.
*
