Cure
The white man is loud,
he is also blind.
His dreams are bad
and teach him nothing.
It would be good for us all
if someone returned him to
our mother.
The silence would soothe him.
Wind and sky clear his eyes.
Water and earth tend his sleep.
He would settle down.
Plainly, some enemy has
snatched him from the breast.
