Little Big Horn
Born 1946, M, from PA, United StatesCrammed in a hole under river embankment
she prays for the sound of the firing to cease.
Just recent this was but a place of enchantment
with singing of children and warm summer breeze.
Just recently squaws were all warm in their tepees,
the braves all content by their sides unaware.
No thunder of hooves of a cavalry sweeping
the hills with persistent malevolent stares.
No sound of the shout of a soldier in panic,
or trumpet that called for disastrous retreat.
No yelling for slaughter of others satanic,
no dirge at the splurge of cadaverous feet.
But only the sun and the clouds and the river,
the trees with their branches, and emerald leaves,
the hope of a future that peace would deliver,
harassment that finally forever would cease.
She listens while hidden secluded and silent.
She prays that they brandish their weapons no more
She pleads that mankind feel no urge to be violent
as the river turns red with the blood the gore.
