Lament of the Taino Man
by StredwickThe Lament
of the Taino Man
They came to our lands
Searching for far away lands
We gave them food and water
From our land of wood and water
2
Then they returned to take away our lands
They brought their plagues to kill us
Their diseases are foreign to our lands
Their plan was to get rid of us
3
We know that was their plans
Because we heard them talking
And making plans
Yes we heard them talking
4
About taking away our lands
Putting us to work the lands
To make them rich
And when they get rich
They would depart these lands
5
They have gotten rid of my people
Through their plagues and their cruelty
My people could
not stand their cruelty
We had no weapons to fight these people
6
They’ve wiped us out
Several generations of us
Who is to tell our story but us
Sadly, our conquerors have wiped us out
