<br />
Assimilation Blues<br />
<br />
Grandmother, I am sad.<br />
Come, sit. Together we will be sad.<br />
Bowed heads, silently honoring the Sad.<br />
Sometimes a song, sometimes a story,<br />
Sometimes silence,<br />
Breathing the Sad,<br />
Heads bowed sitting with the Sad.<br />
<br />
The people come,<br />
Tonight we sing until the sun shows,<br />
Acknowledging Sad‚<br />
Tomorrow we laugh and eat,<br />
Honoring the Sad;<br />
continuing life.<br />
<br />
Assimilation Mother, I am sad.<br />
Don’t be sad.<br />
Have something sweet to eat, something…

<br />
Assimilation Mother, I am sad.<br />
Don’t be sad.<br />
Have something sweet to eat, something pretty to buy,<br />
Forget the Sad.<br />
<br />
Assimilation Doctor, I am sad.<br />
Sad is not real.<br />
Have a pill,<br />
Hide the Sad.<br />
<br />
Assimilation Friend, I am sad.<br />
Tell me about it, details, details.<br />
Open the wound,<br />
Cleanse the Sad.<br />
<br />
Grandmother, where are you?<br />
There is no one to honor the Sad.<br />
Grandmother, I remember you.<br />
Now I am Alone, with the Sad.<br />
Alone, with the songs,<br />
Alone, the Sad grows great.<br />
Grandmother, where are you?
