Nistenha
1
Once there was two twins
Who competed for the wins
And their mother encouraged it
Not hating them one little bit.
2
Life was perfect in its own way
But one day the boys stumbled away
And came back with two men
The family had not known that when
This meeting was over,
Their life was over
3
The boys marveled at them
And the men at 'em.
For the pale twins lived with "savages"
And the boys knew of no savages
4
The men asked for Mother Earth
And knew not of the boys' birth
The mother didn't understand
For they spoke two languages where they stand
5
The years rolled by
And the older twin watched eagles fly
As a war passed
And fighting ceased at last
The man in red came back
And everything went black
Mother was dead
The day the boys would dread
But the pale-face wiped the sight clean
Before the two of them could've seen
6
More years went by
And the older one wished to fly
Away from this house
And play with a mouse
That squeaked instead of speak
Among the mountain peak
7
The musket was pointed
And his memory re-anointed
And he drops to the earth
Against the hearth
Of the little burned cabin
8
Fear filled the boy
As the redcoats finger slipped by
The red couldn't do it
And he knew it
Especially when the boy cried
"Nistenha a should have flied!"
9
Guilt filled the red
The boy realized the day of dread
The boy recovered from amnesia
No joy left to please'ya
And the man froze and dropped the gun
10
Anger filled the boy
As he remembers that room
As red as the flowers
And down went the Empire
As the ball entered his leg.
Yay~! Revolutionary War and Native America! For those of you that don't know, the "mouse" is Canada. Nistenha is Mohawk for "Mother," and my source is the book "the Ransom of Mercy Carter." Thank you all for reading~! (Sorry this took so long...)
Ciao~!
