Trail of Tears
Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)
Let us tell a story of snow and blood. Chiefs betrayal of a people and how they paid with thier lives tomahawk and knife. The children the elderly walked in snow and ice. Walking from georgia on winter to oklahoma. A people who were not people made by white law not a slave not a animal. Just a law to say you do not own your land you have no rights. Walking in snow walking one falls two falls walking walking a grandfather falls tears falls a little girl falls.walking walking a treaty of all oklahoma to the cherokee a treaty falls never to be kept live all the whites write. Trail of tears or trails of the innocent blood on a trail.
