Indian Forefathers Poem by Dave Alan Walker

i like your writing.

Beautiful poem! I know little about native american culture, though I really like the theme, I'm a great fan of Johnny Cash. Your song reminds me of one of The Highwaymen's verses from their song - American Remains: I am an American Indian, my tribe is Cherokee. My forefathers loved this land they left it here for me. But the white man came with boats and trains and dirty factories, And poisoned my existence with his deeds. Nature is our mother, we are sucklings at her breast. And he who tries to beat her down will lose her to the rest. ... Very profound song, even to me as a non-American! You should listen to it!

i love reading about the indian legends. thanks for sharing :)

Not knowing much about Indian forefathers, but I know the saying What goes round comes round and I guess the message in your poem could well come true on that understanding.

A deep thought provoking poem with many shades of meaning. Truth, as elusive as the soul of the wolf.

Nice one, congrats on poem and getting poem of the day!

...........amazing poem....the ending is beautifully said ★

An intriguing poem, although slightly ambiguous. Just how exactly will the Indian man teach the world through the eyes of the wolf? I enjoyed reading it in any case, and congratulations on having it selected as poem of the day!

Poets see beyond the immediate with their pens. This is one of such. The real estate owner may rule the land one day. Nice write

May be this a prophesy, who knows. I like the poem it poses millions of questions.
