The Collage

Images from sand creek
form a gruesome collage in my head
the People
fleeing
crying
hiding
some finally seeking sanctuary
under the banner
that represents their doom

the soldiers
riding
running
slaughtering
wearing as trophies
the very future of the People
leaving only wind
and cold silence
where the dead suckle the dead

the anthem conjures up
images of bravery and freedoms
but also brings to mind
the collage
