Land of Sadness

Ghost horses drink from the creek
A herd of wild mustangs,
stop to drink,
their shared soul is liquid

These wise horses see the people need them
as the ghost horses fly,
The living wise ones, left behind
wish to help the real people

When the buffalo were plenty
These nomadic people followed the herds,
for their survival,
using all they took,
honoring the great beasts
with ceremonies and prayers

The elk-dog (horse) was happy
The people had their needs filled
They could bring down the buffalo
with the help and speed of their elk-dogs

When the white man came
with their lies,
their false promises,
the treaties they broke

The people could not understand
asking the "Creator"... Why?

These white eyes conquered the people
by destroying the buffalo,
It was a massive slaughter
leaving the meat to rot

The people cried

These white liars brought their false reality,
their religion they didn't follow
It made no sense to the human beings,
it seemed a false thing
The foreign beings forced the native children
into their schools of lies,
their churches of fools

These foreigners claimed the land
where the real people lived,
believing no man could own,
were now taken from them

The elders taught the people
No man could own the earth,
the sky, the rivers, the great seas
Thinking that was bad medicine

There was a land
where the real people lived,
one day they disappeared,
some died in the fight,
some died of fright,
thinking it the end of time
some say into the land,
some say into the sky

Traveling the lines of power
only those with sight
could see
Energy of the powerful

The Warriors of Intent
learned the wisdom,
upon the power points,
which dot the universe

They transcended time and space,
teaching the human beings
the power of sight
Everything in the hands of light

The light that is love
which mankind no longer can see
only their programmed reality
The real people mourn for this earth

Those who are left will return
the land to the mother,
the sky to the father,
It has been seen, It has been foretold

Those with the power of sight
have seen this as truth
One day they will live again
in harmony with the mother and the father

A life of honor
in the light of love
The "Creators" light
to guide them by
