Our addictions…

Farm hands in the field

Darkened skin of the laborer

Protesters walk by for the water

Some proclaims then scarecrows

They stand silent and still

In positions great strain

Someone proclaims them farmers

then sees their skin and labor

heavy realization

one laborer dances and waves with streched out arms

Rythmically

We walk

They give their graritude

And we walk in humility

For the water that farms need

Not farmer, Laborer

Lotus flower

In a pond of lilies

Open one hour and closed the next

Beautiful in the afternoon

We might think it'd stay open for the evening

Just reserve budding now

A lotus flower

Opens for the afternoon

Closes for the morning, evening, and night

If you choose upon one

In a sea of lillies

Appreciate it

Sit with it

For it may close on you

Shall you come back

Not all buds will bloom

Until they are ready

In the muck

In the bloom of allgee and polution

In the sea of green

Every petal unfirls

Must we be present

Must we sit with its beauty

Or walk on by to worldly pleasures

Poems on thee road

We are water

Walking forward

Slower in the heat and draught

Waiting for the rain to come

Water penetrates the sand beneath our feet

Tears from cloud

Tears from the masses welcomed

It feeds our stream

Quickens our energy

Strengthens our force

Our feet fall steady

Rocks thrown don't ripple in stay flowing water

Mother trees float down

Chemicals from plants sprouted by greed

She is two spirited

Feminine and nice

Flows like the skirts we wear

This life is precious

Our water connected

Through every step

I'm Jewish and white

Ukrainian and a colonizer

How do i help us move forward when i don't no my past

I can walk forward

What i need is a reverse pilgrimage

If you're nor on your native land

Chances are you were prosecuted at some point

Water is Life concert

tall can whiteclaws

at the spiritual concert

backstage pass swap

ethics and morals surface

indigenous openers for white headliner

on stage

a bit of the Nibi song…

a treveller's song

an elder steps over the poles
