To ask one another?

An Indian fall
nameless! faceless!
leagues-away in green backed bunkers
hiring helicopters badges automatic rifles
one says jobs others economic progress
tax revenues
private property
tied together (re-lig-io)
by golden black ooze in pipes
overrunning first peoples
red skinned the reason?
superstitious or deeply spiritual?
can land be sacred?
or only owned?
450 years ago who “owned” this land?
how did this “ownership” begin?
with other guns soldiers canon pigs?
in our century is there room
to ask one another?
