Quatrain of Kickapoo - 714 - Yorktown Disciple

Quatrain of Kickapoo

American Indian

With raised fist, a tear in the eye,
they fought to retain their
land,

History was cruel and flood of
new thought posed bane
demand.

Farming and hunting, scavenging
the land, a hallowed pagan
call,

All the Kickapoo knew; all they
wanted, could not prevent their
fall.
