You say you’re a warrior and came from the war of ‘Nam

Yet you have no time to meet a brother that has fought too

Introductions were frivolous to your egoistic personality

Perhaps all glory and fame is what is really in your view

Claiming a veteran status vocally as if you own the world

Like receiving some kind of regal ownership with pride

How disappointing to see a personal brush-off and unkind

Perhaps it is you that needs to be made more humble inside

He is an honored Vietnam Veteran, fought in that ugly war

You were the same, yet I hear you never really was in battle

Stationed at your base, behind the scenes, in more civil duty

Perhaps you’d better think before you dance with your rattle

Kiowa Warriors that have gone off to battle in far off lands

Are fierce fighters, readily sacrificing all for our country

This one, Tsa-koy*, He is your brother too, he fought there too

Perhaps, dear sir, you have shown an ugly side of bigotry

We are a proud people, we sing and dance and honor you

The Warrior, the Veteran, from all wars from all of time

Do not disgrace yourself, nor close your heart to others

Perhaps you need to learn our ancestral teachings aforetime
