To Indigenous Peoples

Do not bow your heads in deference
When the white man passes by
You owe these fools no homage
Stand and look them in the eye

They are the ones who wronged you
Stole your dignity-your land
You owe the white man nothing
Do not bow and kiss his hand

But that's the way the white man is
And I'll say this to his face
I am not that proud to be one
Of this high-and-mighty race

I went to cowboy movies
When I was young and not too wise
And I always cheered for the cowboys
I now apologize!
