We can sympathize
with the tribes.
When the government came in
dammed the river
for a power plant
and re-routed the shipping channel
away from us
took homes, businesses
drydock jobs
shipping jobs
even graveyards
to make it work,
we said little
and
amazed by
the huge bridge
the office building
the promises
we did little
let the long term go
let them have a free ride
until it was over
and the construction boom left.
Sounds familiar and dark.
