An Urban Indian’s Farewell

I must leave you now

Sacred neon cow

And resume my vow

To a land

You can’t understand

A tall tough land

That took my hand

And gave me like a bride

I crawled and cried

When you kicked me aside.

Once more my heart is clear

I’ll never again fear

When I reach the valley I love

With towering mountains above

Where knife winds blow

With blades of snow

Where I can reside in pride

And ride

And ride

And ride
