As I read "Dear John Wayne" it just seem like another poem. The I got to the line that said,
The eye sees a lot, John, but the heart is so blind.
Death makes us owners of nothing.
To me this line was so powerful it made me go "wow". This line to me meant that your eye can see so far, but your heart is not open to see and understand how the Indians live their lives. Your eyes and heart are to busy trying to gain land and material things that you forget that one day we will all die and these things know longer will belong to us.

I admire this line, too--it makes me keep thinking about it and about why the heart is so blind.
