“A Silent War Cry”
A poem about the battle for land between two races:
The Native American tribes and the white settlers from Europe
by Joshua, grade 5
All is silent
A twig snaps
Something moves
An army, an army of whites
A war cry sounds
Gunshots roar
Tomahawks fly
The fire in their eyes is as cold as ice
The forest is set ablaze
Whites fall
Indians fall
Many die
Two men
Face off
One will fall
One will rise
All is silent
A silent war cry
