The+Trail+of+Tears+AD09

A long and grueling journey To Oklahoma we go Being forced east of the Mississippi We call it the trail of tears Because of its devastating effects Over 4,000 of us have died. And The weather is becoming fierce For those of us who made it We didn’t have much to come home to  Who had settled on our new land? It was the European explorers Slowly but surely They were taking whatever we had. More and more non-natives have settled on our land Which led to The deterioration of our culture. As the whites wanted to change us into “their” people We tried to farm and build like them Even though, in the end We were again forced to a new, strange land.
