"How much more" The reservations are sacred lands these people need our help and we need to understand they're dumping toxic waste on native lands the'ye killing off the buffalo and taking these peoples way of life for the simple fact that they can an all the money they get for it makes them pretty happy too How much more pain must they go through how much more ignorance and intollerance do we have to view how much more till the world wakes up and gets a clue they know their hurting all the people destroying the earth an youth with these horrible acts they do it's environmental slaughter it ya wanna know the truth everyone is at risk our future,land,water sun,moon,sky men,women an childrens lives they keep consuming an controlling what's not even theirs to claim the earths not some token to be bought or sold in a game the earths not for moneymaking scavengers to behold an drain to fill their pockets with loads of money all at the price of human remains the tribes just want the better way for the people and the land but it's really hard when no one will listen,respect or try to understand for the sake of humankind stop being so blind when federals are out to make money at any cost they dont care about who or how many lives are lost they're spending this money without any remorse cuz when your down they still wanna beat ya like a dead horse How much more pain must they go through how much more ignorance an injustices do we have to view how much more till the world wakes up and gets a clue Nothing is ours to claim except for all the blood,death, destruction an shame yes,we've got plenty of pity little guilt,lots of blame what we need is more people to stand up an say,these acts are insane we all need to say no more an mean it an lets make a change people need to wake up an get a clue an stop the ignorance,intollerance an injustices they do (c)2001 Kelli Kay Kelli, I have edited out your ****'s.

I live in a far away country, but I've always felt that way about the matter, same there with the Aboriginals in Australia. Clap, clap, clap, finally someone who dare to speak their tongue (is that the right expression?) Well done Watersign6, BRAVO!!! Titia |

Great expressions and I'm glad you took the time to share them. The world needs some serious mending or we're all going to disappear off the face of the earth. I wrote a poem recently about the same type of thing. Keep up the outspokeness the real honest people really enjoy the truth. Have a nice day! ethome The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |
