I wrote this a few moons ago, when Bear Paw gave us a picture of those Pilgrims coming to the land and Native Americans complained about the illegal immigrants, well, now pale-face is complaining that to "their" country are coming too much illegals? and that they are ruining the land?

Dedicated to Carolyn Red Bear


The horizon is full with grazing buffalo
overhead a watchful eagle on the sky,
one can hear the singing of Father Wind
and feel the strong beat from her heart,
Mother Earth is happy, as it should be.

Long away, back the mountain’s range,
smoke is going up from Medicine Man,
telling all people a storm coming here
even if darkest clouds can’t be found,
“beware children of my sacred prairie,
old eyes will be one day, so full of tears.

No one owns, Mother Earth welcome us
on our birth…and the day when we die,
to take care of our Mother just we need
to let her know how grateful we all are
of have the privilege to be her sons, not
with two tongues words, but with deeds.

Children are happy, hear those laughs,
with bad medicine dark storming clouds
we will be soon crying says the prophesy,
that Great Spirit let it happen do not why,
we have lived more than thousands years
with life coming and going in our teepees.

But the peace is broken before any war
drums tell the prairies to hear the cries
of many braves that saw it all in a dream
where you fight for Mother until you die
or you conquer your Nation’s menaces,
those dark storms clouds, her enemies.

Great Spirit call came in a peaceful night
in a dream to raise and defend the Land,
to Chief Joseph and all Geronimo’s kin,
Quanah Parker and Crazy Horse to fight,
against the Long Knives attacking Mother,
with Sitting Bull the supreme War Chief.
