ODE TO THANKSGIVING The Pilgrims came sick and weak, exhausted from the ride they landed in a foriegn land already occupied The people of the land came forth and shared of all they had they made the Pilgrims well again so everyone was glad Thanksgiving I was always taught was about that selfless sharing from the Indians to the Pilgrims as a sacred way of caring But I grew up and learned of truths otherwise left blind of how the white man stole the land and got the treaties signed How Indians were shoved aside and trampled in the wake of thousands more white people who desired land to take their deep traditions and beliefs considered to be odd these people of the forest who had always walked with God. I learned the truth from knowing them apart from lies and books and discovered Indian blood in my viens and in my looks I cherish them who showed the stranger hospitality and love they hold a cherished place in this ones heart,signed Spiritdove.
