Mapping

Chief Blackhoof had a brother
He would call no other
That brother had a daughter
Nanex-se is what they named her.

Brace yourself for what comes next
Paine relievers in the text
Thorpe was tried and passed the test
Jesse Owens outran the rest.

The winding road does tell a song
some ballads take years to right a wrong
Justice comes in many shapes
If all else fails read the tapes.

"The winding road does tell a song

I love this!
It can be such a challenge to rise above our own personal vision or expectation of how a perceived "wrong" should be "righted". And view things with omnipresence. A life act could have been purely meant as a catalyst for others to react to or the "correction" may not take place in "public" view or within the lifetime it was perpetrated. Holding on to our own sense of justice can stunt our own (personal &/or racial/cultural) evolution, by us waiting along side our road in ego-centered anticipation of "measurable" satisfaction. Like quick-sand.

Another dandy, Andrew! Jim Thorpe (Native American) and Jesse Owens (Black) were hailed because of their superior athleticism while the other members of their race remained in the quagmire of being perceived inferior. That last verse really zaps a multitude of areas besides the obvious injustice already covered. Of course the last line takes me right straight to Watergate.
