The Ghost of Sitting Bull

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: TRUE HISTORY

 

The Ghost of Sitting Bull

 

We do not see his face

We do not hear his cry

But in this time and place *

His spirit never died

 

Sitting Bull was fierce in battle

Soft spoken in repose

He led the bison, not the cattle

He left behind his ghost

 

These days we have no chiefs

As bold and true as him

He held strong to his beliefs

His light will never dim

 

His spirit lives today

In the people who remember

He led his tribe the Lakota way

Sustained the dying ember

 

That ember turns to flame

A flame that always burns

His courage was his fame

From him we all can learn

 

* The sacred Black Hills
