When you under value people
\nwhen you take their rights away
\nDon’t ever imagine that what you do
\nyou will not have to pay
\nfarming out the first peoples children
\nto the white foster home
\nis a crime against humanity
\nand one day the thickest tome<\/p>\n
will be written up in heaven
\nyou wait I know you see
\nAustralia tried this infamy
\nand paid a price, for me
\nto see now what is happening
\nsickens me more and more
\nthe First People have such culture
\nand their history means more<\/p>\n
to them than ever yours does
\nand to treat them as you do
\nis heartless and its so unfair
\nthere that is my view
\nit tears into my guts it does
\nfor they are so profound
\nso in tune with nature
\nthey’ve lived there on the ground<\/p>\n
they know the ways of nature
\nthey understand and do
\nappreciate gods gift of life
\nunlike some of you
\nopen your eyes America
\ngo look at Ecuador
\nthere the quichua Indians
\nand the Shuar oh yes they are sure
\nthey have a place in the country
\nrespect its clear to see
\nand all the tribes should be given
\ndue respect and that’s the key<\/p>\n
respect for they are people
\nwith hearts the same as you
\ncloser to the land perhaps
\nbut they are just as true
\nand their true ancestors
\ntook the land and they
\nloved it, worked it, primed it
\nthey sweated blood each day<\/p>\n
their lands have been usurped
\nyou know its true it was never fair
\nand now what you are doing to their children
\ndrives me spare
\ndon’t foster out their children
\nto white families it is wrong
\nlet them learn their culture
\nlet them please stay strong<\/p>\n
respect each individual
\nrespect the nation state
\nthis action you are taking South Dakota
\nI don’t rate
\nand one day like Australia
\nyou will realise the pain
\nand its truly devastating
\nthat its happening again<\/p>\n
when we never learn from our mistakes
\nthere is no future, we
\nwill sink into the abyss my friends
\nand that’s extraordinary
\nlook at the first people
\nconsider who they are
\nlearn from them share with them
\nDon’t banish them too far
\naway from what is their birthplace
\ntheir children are their right
\nand South Dakota think again
\nand just reverse this blight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
