parts of us recede in the BP gold bribery rush
land for wampum(blankets,beads,mirrors)
can we buy our way off this reservation?
Everywhere,people on streets discarding dictatorships
that we colluded with and bribed to torture us
Now we are seen as gunships ,occupation,aggression
rather than the nadir of Western Civilization
Will of the people awakening(even in Texas-
where cuts to the body politic are for the poor,weak,helpless
(Tax cuts for the rich/job cuts for the poor) More is required
than making less.What do we create?Who are we?
Those before us had a vanished culture-what is ours?
"Late and soon,getting and spending,we lay waste our powers
Little we see in Nature that is ours.."
Forget the moon,stars,Mars probes,spy satellites
Earth is crying beneath our feet.She cracks tears (floods-Tsunamis
Air must mean more than exhaust.Laws more than fear and guns
Midnight has come and glass slippers everywhere-
Japan leaks radiation/we imbibe nuclear consequences
Glow gently while minds are massaged via mass media
Can you see bison?Wolves on prairies?Will we return?
Learning takes lifetimes,radiation half life is forever
Your awakenings lead you down to the waters
where you bless and pray and petition Higher Powers
Who has been taught to listen?Who is this speaking?
