The Single Indian
by Larry Kibby
Falling into my mind,
Standing alone in time,
No one by my side,
Solitary pride,
Single Indian man,
Upon a Sovereign land.
Deceiving faces,
Lying to the races,
No valued passion,
No sincere compassion,
Single Indian man,
Upon a Sovereign land.
No constitutional right,
Injustice without a fight,
Assimilated relation,
Representing the nation,
Single Indian man,
Upon a Sovereign land.
Red Power movement strong,
Government policy wrong,
Elder's education,
Preserving the reservation,
Single Indian man,
Upon a Sovereign land.
People turning away,
Losing faith everyday,
But I stand with dignity,
Hoping for equality,
I'm just a single Indian man,
Standing among my ancestors,
Upon the Sovereign Nations land.
