Crazy Horse, you fallen icon,
The fervant and determined days
Of the Oglala warrior
Are but a distant memory
Diabetes, unemployment,
And rampant alcoholism
Are unfortunate pandemics
Among the indigenous
In American media,
Tribespeople are barely present
Each a generic face that fades
Quietly into the background.
Then again, any awareness
Of Modern Indian affairs
Has become a stereotype
Hell, in this point in history
The "Indian" is a bad joke
It seems as though your victory
At Little Bighorn was in vain
Columbus must be overjoyed
