Taken Away

We make spears,
With tears and fears.
As the Europeans come like a gun,
We shall do what has to be done.
With a BANG and CRASH,
Our land was taken in a flash.
As now we see the remains of those who defended and saved,
The land will never be the same.
As one day we will reclaim what is right,
To end the fight.
