Less is more

(a post in true Rosie fashion, trying it on for size)


taught kindergarten
took the kids to music class
teacher played a "Native American" song
told the kids not to say "Indian"
beautiful drum beat supporting an amazing voice
sounded like horses running
she had to teach it
in her lesson plan
state controls that, tells her what to do
she didn't like it though,
wanted to teach white music
brought in her own song about cowboys
some crap song from the 50's tv shows
when native actors were exploited
practically in blackface
she said that "this was the true sound of horses"
made the kids dance around
seems you can't dance to native music.

Guess it always boils down
to Cowboys vs. Indians
