Resistance

A fugitive,

For wanting freedom,

For a people of nether land

Half breed they cry,

As I have two different eyes,

Our leader they thought crazy,

For wanting his people to be equal

And so he has been hanged.

How many times must we go through this cruel judgement?

What is the final price we must pay?

Before we learn that all are equal.

Author's Note

My attempt at writing about my ancestor Louis Riel. Just like to clarify I don’t have two different eyes I was wrighting it in the point of view as a metis back then.(how ever my aunt does)
