Holding hands The beat of fresh born drums The Dancers: Abenaki, Cree, Sioux, Yoruba Gypsy, Jew, Greek and every other people Everyone lost; every tear shed Everyone victimized to what is a Lie. Order. Punctuality. Uniform. Snarl and sneer and flat out genocide Sweet victims, lovers Holding hands: Will you let me join you? Claim me whole, my noble Mothers Sacred Fathers? Yes, we bleed alike, I have no shame and I will die, willingly lay down my life for my place...beside you Holding hands: Spirits human and divine two legged and also four, on land and sea and sky I have no shame, I will not yield, be only white, a man, only now No, I will not be silent go uncounted my brothers are black and brown and red my sisters on every island, country, town I am human this is my species my world, the planet who bore me descendant of peoples dancing I am human And no oppression Can go on Forever by John Telos Copyright © John Telos Inspiration: A request to continue Ghost Dance |
