A Never Ending Battle
by

The man held his young Great Grandson in his lap
As they watched a storm that was beginning to take its form
It brought memories of when the man was just a young boy
Sitting next to his Great Grandfather
As they too watched a storm appear in the sky
The words of his Great Grandfather brings much worry to his old heart
A worry that comes riding in with each storm
The old man's Great Grandfather had looked sadly into the sky that
stormy day
These words he shared with worry in his old voice�.
The Red man and the white man have been enemies forever now
Both Tribes fought against each other
Only to have their lives taken
They still fight in wars and die
They go to their own places in the sky much like here
Own soil, own air and their own Creator
They continue where they left off here
Fighting a never ending battle
The storms in the sky are the Tribes at battle
So, be prepared my little one
You'll be a fighting Warrior forever�.
Those words confuses the old man
The two Tribes live in peace today
No more blood shed
No more battles between them
But the storms, the never ending battle goes on in the sky
He never wants to die so he won't be fighting for eternity
He'd rather have his soul stay with his body so he can rest in peace
He'd rather his Great Grandson read about his Ancestors in history
books
Not have to live the past when he dies someday
A fear that gets stronger each time a storm takes form above his head
And he wanders, will the battle ever end?
