| Does anyone know the title of the poem this song was taken from? That is if it was, in fact , taken from a poem. | |

| i read the poem and there is one similarity but its not exact. i still think there great lyricist. the only part that is similar is:"We have burned their villages and all the people in them died We adopt their customs and everything they say we steal". and the poem says:"Write this. We have burned all the villages and the people in them Write this. We have adopted their customs and their manner of dress" so i guess thats a lot a like but maybe it was a coinsidence(sp?). eh oh well. just thought id write that out. | |

| To me this song is talking about the ruthlessness of Western imperialism and how the government can just cover up the scars, and the country won't know the difference. | |

| I agree with emojay. I think that this song is written about how our nation is not rightfully ours. It was stolen from native americans through force and murder. The part about losing their images and dances and replacing them with borders make me think that they are talking about taking away the indians lands and putting them in reservations. | |
