Black Heart-Son Of Black Horse

There lived a Chief of great renown, back in the days of yore;
He was his father’s only given son, and his father him adored!
As ancient tradition dictated, when a boy became a teen;
His father gave him his Indian name, based on his honorable demean!
.
So he chose the title of “Black Horse”, for the power of a steed;
And his son’s loving gentle nature, the beauty of his creed!
Then, as all the elders watched him, his accomplishments fast grew;
By the time he reached adulthood, he would become a Chief they knew!
.
He met a squaw named “Sweet Breeze”, both fell instantly in love;
Their marriage was very sacred, blessed by ancient Gods above!
Soon she had a papoose, a son to them was born;
Black Horse then had a ritual, love for his son e’er sworn!
.
A decade passed, as his fame grew, his time had then arrived;
To become Chief of their great nation, the elders then decided!
Meanwhile, his only son was eleven, but signs of evil began appear;
Black Horse started to worry, for he loved him very dear!
.
He watched as “Okeus” took his son’s Soul, so when the ceremony came;
He knew there was but one proper appellation, “Black Heart” would be his name!
Through the years it proved justified, Black Horse’s tears fell daily like the rain;
For his only son brought him such sorrow, ever surrounded by pure pain!

                                   He hoped to share pure love
                                      But found a black heart
