Ghost dancers, dance to the beat of the drum,
In rhythm in another time,
Hearts beat, the drum speaks,
Arms out stretched,
Eyes look to the sky,
Ancestor’s witness, a scene of desperation,
A plea for help to save their land,
To save their culture,
To save their people,
They dance for days,
Dedicated,
Inspirited,
Sacrifice,
No food nor water, nor sleep,
Stomping feet, chanting to the beat,
Soldiers remember Custer’s defeat,
Hotchkiss guns placed in position,
Troops swoop,
As snow falls,
The day is dark,
Weapons seized, atmosphere tense,
Snatch and grab,
Arrogance and abruptness, roughness,
Employed,
Indians annoyed,
Deafness not tolerated,
The actions of the soldiers,
Were deliberate and deadly,
Revenge in mind, and carried out,
The excuse to shoot,
Because one did not hear,
Was all the troops needed, to unleash hell,
Children playing, cut to pieces,
Women running stuck hard and fell,
Blood splattered on the snow covered ground,
Warriors fight to no avail,
Bare hands against rifles and guns of mass murder,
Bows and arrows no match for technology,
Big foot frozen for all eternity,
This vision of him will last over a magnitude of time,
With Sitting Bulls murder a week before,
The 7th Calvary soldiers from hell, their vengeance, complete,
They contrived this massacre at Wounded Knee,
They go down in history as nothing,
But contemptible cowards,
Despicable, to the core.
My vision through the eyes of another,
Osceola Birdman Waters.
