Shadows of the Past

A moment
In the past
Frozen in time
Captured on film
Something that
Will last
Native Americans
Believed
A photograph
Of them
Would capture
Their soul
How many people
Today
Believe that
If I took
A poll
All those
Smiling faces
Are now
Long gone
Their lives
Snuffed out
They had
Their moments
To shone
