    These Burma shave poems


    They're really great


    But I can't help but wonder


    If the need to indulge in them has deeper, psychological implications.
    Perhaps it's symptomatic of a fear of winning or of men who love women 
    who hate men or perhaps...

    that they have built
    
    once faith was a virtue
    
    now its use is denied
    
    and the bones bleach white

    The earth was created by the assistance of the sun
    
    
    And it should be left as it was
    
    
    The country was made without lines of demarcation,
    
    And it is no man's business to divide it
    
    I see whites all over the country gaining wealth
    
    And see their desire to give us lands that are worthless
    
    The earth and myself are of one mind.
    
    The measures of the land and the measures of our bodies are the same.
    
    Say to us if you can say it,
    
    That you were sent by the Creative Power to talk to us.
    
    Perhaps you think the Creator sent you here to dispose of  us as you
    see fit.
    
    If I thought you were sent by the Creator
    
    I might be induced to think you had a right to dispose of me.
    
    Do not misunderstand me, but understand me fully with
    
    Reference to my affection for the land.
    
    I never said the land was mine to do with as I chose.
    
    The one who has the right to dispose of it is
    
    The one who has created it.
    
    I claim a right to live on my land,
    
    And accord you the privilege to live on yours.
