Erase The Trail Of Tears

They can never erase the Trail of Tears
though they try to erase words from books
for bloody footprints of their suffering
are stained forever in the angry soil
across the torn breast of America.
No matter what events they try to hide
as evidence of their blind lust for land
every student will learn the truth some day
and they will know their elders tried to lie
but have failed to erase the Trail of Tears.
Behind the loud rumble of factories,
woven within popular melodies,
and under pious prayers in their glass church,
the cries of people dying on Trail of Tears
still resonate with the timbre of truth.
Stand with me in the late sultry moonlight
and listen to soft whispers of the wind
that preserve the souls of all who lived here
and we can hear their cries on Trail of Tears
so we will record what they say in song.
