Unequa (Great Spirit) by writerforever
Dedicated to the Cherokee people, my ancestors.
Unequa, we are afraid
They come with their guns
They come with their hate
They come to destroy us
Unequa, please save us
Please shield us from them
----
Unequa, we are starving and dying
They have put us in camps
We are hated by them
Unequa, hear our cry
----
Unequa, they have forced us to make a journey
We are traveling by the hundreds
Many are dying on the way
We cry tears of grief
Unequa, accept the spirits of our dead brothers and sisters
----
Unequa, hear our cries
Unequa, hear our pleas
Unequa, take away our pain
Unequa, please let us return to our homelands
----
Unequa, it is you alone who can save us now
Unequa, bestow on us your grace
Unequa, gives us strength to make this journey
Unequa, please hear our mournful cry
Unequa…
