Poetry
 “Just Captured”
 Dark, Cold, Night
It is full of fright.
I miss my children and my
wife.
What has happened to my
once happy life?
I feel so depressed.
We are traveling towards the
west.
Will we see our tribe?
My feelings and pain I cannot
describe.
I want to go back home
and end my feelings of being
alone.
 “Leaving Home”
 Sailing far from my
home,
traveling to America
the land unknown.
Scared and lonely I
can only wait,
for the white man I
am filled with
hate.
