Week 2 - Write about Indians

[streetnights]

In our dreams, we fight these battles again and again, and make the invaders pay for every drop of blood that they've spilled

Thank you!

This is really quite awesome. The ending left me breathless.

Hands down one of my favorite pieces so far this week. <3

[streetnights]

Thank you very much :)

But I do not believe any of those things. I've seen that they can be beaten, just as we can; they bleed the same blood we do and die just as easily to knives and guns. There are simply more of them, and they will not share their land, and so there can only be conflict.

I especially liked this part.

[streetnights]

Thanks! To me, it's the meat of the entry, turning the conflict into something inevitable and normal instead of painting this global 'good vs evil' battle or the like.

I like the line But to run forever requires land to run on

Wow. This is so sad to be reminded of the oppression they surely felt.

[streetnights]

It is; I only hope that we learn from the past and will not repeat it in the future.
