They are gone.

There is no thunder.
There is no trail.
There are no tracks.
If you find a man who knows,
   he will reply in tears,
      "You do not understand,
            they are gone".

There are no war cries.
There are no warrior robes.
There are no more ceremonies.
If you ask the old,
   they will reply in hoarse voices.
       "You will never understand,
            they are gone".

Where is the spirit?
Where is the bow?
Where is the honor?
The historians all want to know,
   bur they are gone.
