They did not break.

Never photographed. Never found.

Taught himself to read. Became the voice of a nation.

Picked up a handful of salt and broke an empire

Thirty-eight people against two nations for thirty years

Moses, spy, and a river raid in Union blue

Three empires came. Three empires left.

Filled the jails with singing children

Told a warship to go fuck itself

Sat down and wouldn't stand up

United the Lakota and broke Custer's army

Copyrighted her own face

Shopping bags against a column of tanks

Howitzers on bicycles, mountains on his side
