Trail of Tears

This poem reads going down then you can read it going down. It is about these two people on the Trail of Tears.(They are the mom and her kid all the way to the left)
The trail where we cried
It is
Because over 4,000 died
We are Hungry and
Are tired
My child and I
Walked the trail of Tears
Slowly but surely we
Watched friends family even, starve
Struggling to get by we
Cried every step of the way
With my belonging on my back.
I had,
No longer a choice
We are relocated.
We are reaching the end of.

Is an unstoppable force against us
The only one who knows our fate is
Andrew Jackson
In the end
We all knew
There was no way to stop the government
Even if we took up their principles
We farmed like them.
We tried everything
To stay in our land
Here I am
Traveling to Oklahoma
Against my will
And we can’t stop it because I am
