The Dogmen.
A melinated man oblivious to sin.
Peep the symetry, hair, and skin.
Who’s this?
The sailor man comes on the scene.
Chatty, sweaty, hairy, and mean.
But he got stuff tho!!!
Coin, tobacco, and guns.
New stuff – new toys!
This could be fun.
Fix him something eat!!!
And prepare the finest, make sure she clean.
Let there be amusement!
Play some music.
Sing & dance!
Observe – smile & glance…
At the end of night, it was your first time.
She didn’t have a nice time.
In fact, she cried…
Wouldn’t no romance!
Sailor man ghost now.
He back out to sea.
9 months later…
18 hours of labor.
Its a boy!!!
He live with the Chief.
He know his mama but barely speak.
Many moons later, the Chief is dead.
Baby boy inherits his wife & his bed!
The only one that knows the sailor man.
And so the cycle goes again & again.
Less & less melanin.
Dogmen on the decline.
No more deer & no more trees.
Only war, pollution, & a political speech.
No more horses & no more tee-pees.
No more lakes & no more streams.
Only liquor stores & drugs to shatter your dreams.
Now you talk too much!
Now you sweaty!
All hairy and mean.
Don’t know how to dance & damn sure can’t sing.
But see, you a natural at plotting the scheme.
No more smiles and no more love.
Addicted to money in search of the plug.
The dawn of a new day, change is near.
A new face.
A man appears.
A melinated man?
Why you scared?
And then it becomes abundantly clear,
The Dogmen are still here…
