Born Into A Tribe

Born Into A Tribe

A Poem by Healing Star
"

One who is born into a Tribe is born free from Greed and is taught to live free from Greed.

"

I wish I could've Been

Born into a Tribe

I would be more Alive

If I was born into a Tribe

 

I wish I could've Been

Born into a Tribe

I would be more Alive

If I was born into a Tribe

 

We were meant to Be

Born into a Tribe

That's why we have Tendencies

To find that Tribe, you See

 

Cause when you're in a Tribe

You think of All as One

Cause when you're in a Tribe

You never stand Alone

 

I heard a story Once

Of a man who did a Test

He took all these Treats

And put them underneath a Tree

 

Then he brought some tribal Children

To stand all in a Line

Then he told the Children

Who had empty bellies All

 

Whoever gets there First

Will be granted the total Prize

They would have them all for their very Own

They would have them All

 

And much to his Surprise

This is what he Saw

The boys all started holding Hands

Together they did Walk

 

And they sat in a circle all around the Tree

And he went into the Middle

And he took a bended Knee

And this is what they told Him

 

Now he couldn't believe his Ears

For the teachings of the Tribe

Run as deep as the Holy River

It was the teachings of the Tribe

 

They said, how could I be Happy

If I had this All

And all my Brothers had nothing at All

How could I be Happy

To take all of this for Me

If all my brothers had to go with Nothing

 

How could I be happy

With all of this for Me

If all of my Brothers

Had to go with Nothing

 

How could I be happy

With all of this for Me

If all of my Brothers

Had to go with Nothing

 

How could I be happy

With all of this for Me

If all of my Brothers

Had to go with Nothing

 

And the man in the Middle

On his bended Knee

His tears started Flowing

He just could not Believe

 

And he Cried

I wish I could've Been

Born into a Tribe

I would be more Alive

If I was born into a Tribe

 

I wish I could've Been

Born into a Tribe

I would be more Alive

If I was born into a Tribe

About
I am a man who has finally realized he needs to write down what matters to him, that I might learn from myself, what is important, what I value. To capture who I am now, for that is all we have is no.. more..
