Q
"...
I
have
heard
talk
and
talk
but
nothing
is
done
.
Good
words
do
not
last
long
unless
they
amount
to
something
. ...

words
do
not
pay
for
my
dead
people
.
They
do
not
pay
for
my
country
,
now
overrun
by
white
men
....
Good
words
will
not
give
my
people
good
health
and
stop
them
from
dying
.
Good
words
will
not
get
my
people
home
where
they
can
live
in
peace
and
take
care
of
themselves
.
I
am
tired
of
talk
that
comes
to
nothing
.
It
makes
my
heart
sick
when
I
remember
all
the
good
words
and
broken
promises
....
You
might
as
well
expect
the
rivers
to
run
backward
as
that
any
man
who
was
born
a
free
man
shcould
be
contented
when
penned
up
and
denied
liberty
to
go
where
he
pleases
...
Let
me
be
a
free
man
--
free
to
travel
,
free
to
stop
,
free
to
work
,
free
to
trade
where
I
chooose,
free
to
choose
my
own
teachers
,
free
to
follow
the
religion
of
my
fathers,
free
to
talk
and
think
and
act
for
myself
--and
I
will
obey
every
law
,
or
submit
to
the
penalty
.
