Poem: We’re Native

We’re Native

By Michael Murphy

 

Ya, we’re native 

Coming from the slums of the cities and the dirts of the reservation 

We’re the true First Nation 

Products of the creator’s creation

Knowing that education is the path to self determination 

We’re Fighting for the next generation 

To create our own salvation 

By changing our own litigation

To save us from our own damnation 

Ya we’re native 

Coming from the slums of the cities and the dirts of the reservation 

We are…The True First Nation
