I can’t promise to be with you
For I have dissolved the attachments
Of emotions.
Maybe i’ll forget to care for you
For I live in a house of leisure
With pleasure.
Or maybe I’ll leave you in vulnerability
For I have eccentric dreams
Reckless ambitions.
But I give you my word
I’ll remain dressed in the cloth of your culture
Groomed in the wisdom of your land
And forever will I cherish …to be called an Indian.
