My Chiron~Cowboys &Indians: Child’s Play

Have you ever played Cowboys and Indians
Which one were you¿
Well I was always the Indian
Beaded old necklace around my neck and wrists
Captured can’t get away
Don’t dare resist
Jail was a dark carport closet
Five or seven yrs old so scared I felt nauseated
Feels like an eternity
Before I’m set free
As the Sun starts to set the closet door opens
Please take this off my wrist and neck
Put on too tight this Indian can’t be freed
Cowboy gotta go it’s getting dark
WAIT THE NECK SHACKLES WON’T COME OFF
Pizza don’t tell Indians ain’t the boss
This is getting serious now
Tears running down my face
HELP! HELP! in my head I say
Short baby breaths is all I can take
Very hard to breathe
I’m really scared sitting on the porch next door. All I can do is pee.
THE CALVARY COMES OUT THE HOUSE
My Aunt Teddy
Pizza why you sitting all alone
Pizza baby come to me
I just shake my head
If I tell a whippin I’m gone get
HELP! HELP!
I SCREAM IN MY HEAD
Calvary senses my Flags are red
Yellow beads around my neck
Aunt Teddy tries to help
Too tight she says “Oh Lord what the heck”
Grabs me up runs in the house
Concerned grown faces want to know what’s this about
My GrdDaddy Doc goes in his pocket his
“I’LL CUT YOU KNIFE”
He pulls out
The beads he cuts off
Wow this Indian was willing to die
Stood strong didn’t tell or let the cowboy see her cry
To be called a tellatale and be left to play alone
Cowboys and Indians
Child’s play that went wrong
