Father I feel the bullet slam into me I fall to the ground but there is no pain It is a mortal wound Today is a good day to die
Father My blood spills onto the plains I have lived well I have fought well Today is a good day to die
Father I will soon be walking in the Spirit world Joining the Old Ones who have gone before I hear their voices calling, calling Today is a good day to die
Father I do not have much time The darkness draws near But I am not afraid Today is a good day to die
Father Do not be sad I hear the voices of the Old Ones Their voices are getting louder Today is a good day to die
Father I sing my death song now I have fought well and die a warrior's death Tell Mother not to cry or to forget me Today is a good day to die
Karla, you have an inate sense of things that you've never experienced. Truly there is no pain when a person is shot. Of course, the rest of this excellent poem is equally astute. ~~Bonnie Q
This was good the first time; it is even more so this time around! What a sad, heartbreaking stunner of a poem! BRAVA!!! This is one hell of a fine write; thanks for sharing!

The drug called "The Shari" has been used for vision quests over many years. But, when all the rivers start drying up, the tribe must send a young hunter named Tomás on a much more important trip through the Amazon.
