primal beat

merciless genocide 

     slaughter of native peoples
 
     wrought with (super) wanton zeal

feeble ability to thwart 

     "discoverers" rapine wicked onslaught 

     merely ratcheted wrecked webbing
 
wrenched tribal unity, 

     violently rent asunder 

     vibrant indigenous linkedin weave
    
rendered sacred weltanschauung 

     decimated "noble savage" 

     woke wretched nightmare, 

     sans pock marked worsted weal

the Native American holocaust 

     shrouded in whitewashed veil

tragedy trampled truces 

     triggering tearful trail 

scoped scattered remnant 

     snuffed out via surveil

futile sympathetic remonstrances,

     viz rant and rail

hermetically sealed 

     dirty deeds done dirt 

     blunted, cheapened, 

     and deadened 

     lance armstrong to quail 

most definitely coloring faces 

     of captive 

     American Indians deathly pale

into figurative coffin 

     got hammered 

     rusty nine inch nail

subpar critical population mass 

     for survival, plus storied "red man" 

     bereft of ample potent male 

off limits to original proprietors

     forced to hightail
  
happy hunting grounds o'er hill and dale

becoming desiccated bleached bones 

     devoid of awful, pitiful, 

     and sorrowful fait accompli

and roaming spirits 

     like banshees bewail

grievous shadow a blot doth cause me to ail!
