Forever Heard! There she stands in the first golden light arms raised high and proud,to Creator her voice is lifting in praise and thankfulness for the life she was given. My heart beats with the small drum grandfather is playing my whole spirit swells within me,I can not put to words the feeling that fills my being. Tears streak my face though tired and hungry and still running,we are never beaten our thanks rises with the smoke into Father Sky each morning of our lives. Proud I am to be Tsalagi my brown skin a reminder of the blessings Creator gave to me,connected to my Mother Earth forever this can not be stolen. Sing children says grandmother let them see though we die today,our bodies in the dust our hearts are not afraid this they will never take from us. Our battle cry rings from the very heavens into the last fight we go everyone of us,smiling as we go children falling covered in the blood gifted from our ancestors. They do not understand and they never will,we would rather be free and proud in death than be another conquered cattle for their pens and cages. Lift your voices as you run smile,laugh through the pain,see the fear in their faces as we meet sweet death from their blades and bullets. What kind of people are these they say who laugh death in the face,we have sung our death songs our road is well traveled, Grandmother shines on us, today is a good day to die. When the dust has cleared and the blood red sun is setting it is done,the children lie upon the breast of Mother Earth all breath is stilled yet still our voices will be forever heard on Turtle Island. Everytime the drum is played or the flute goes crying the voices of the People speak in the hearts of our grandchildren!! As told to my grandmother by her own,oh,so long ago!

"the children lie upon the breast of Mother Earth" and so it is, in all too many places. Your words mean much to many. |

Your words mean much to many. Siyo Time Prophet,my heart cries for every child of every Nation who lives without.So many walk this our Mother Earth in great need of basic thing of life,and the few,they have everything and value nothing!

Your spiritualism echoes across the page. Sigi Scorpio and in truth my prayers rise at the dawning of every new day,upon the sage they whisper to the Four Winds that one day we learn to love and care for each other no matter Nation,skin color,or Religion we claim to hold!We are all kin/A wen'sa Unaliyi!
