A white buffalo rises from the ashes
of the idea of
destroying a race
A generation high on rebellion and hate
turned to the
Tree and found the Path of the Heart.
Alcatraz and Wounded Knee gave way
to
The Long Walk and The Big Foot Ride.
The Paddle to Seattle
The Bull
Run for the Return of the Buffalo
The Peace and Dignity Run
The meeting
of the Eagle and the Condor
Drunks learning to be Indians again.
The
Sacred Hoop heals slowly.
I stopped by the hardware store today
picked up a few
things for the house
a few customers and clerks were watching the news
A
story about attacks on people of Arab descent
One man says in a loud
voice,
"Can't we all be good neighbors?"
Another responds, "Can't we all
be friends."
Ten years ago they would have had pictures of Hussein
on
their dart board
Today they carried the spirit of the Eagle
in their
hearts.
Sacred sites all over the world are violated
in the name
of oil
in the name of coal
in the name of uranium
in the name of
profit
In the war on poverty, poverty won.
In the war on drugs, drugs
won.
In the war on terrorist, terror won.
In the Holy War, the wholly
will win.
We are all related.
A-ho!
