Harm MaMa, You Harm Me

A Poem by Healing Star
"

Native Teachings, the greatest stories ever Told, and retold by the Story Teller, with new life each time.

"
When you cut down the Tree
You cut down Me
When you poison the Waters
You poison Me

When you take without Giving
You take from Me
When you Rape my Mother
You Rape Me

When you pollute the River
You pollute my Veins
When you alter the Weather
You Alter my Rains

When you mine the Mountain
You mine Me
When you put Smoke in the Air
You Choke Me

For we are Mountain
We are Tree
We are Ocean
We are River
We are Grass
We are Flower
We are Bear
WE are Squirrel
We are Sun
We are Moon

That's Why

When you cut down the Tree
You cut down Me
When you poison the Waters
You poison Me

When you take without Giving
You take from Me
When you Rape my Mother
You Rape Me

When you pollute the River
You pollute my Veins
When you alter the Weather
You Alter my Rains

When you mine the Mountain
You mine Me
When you put Smoke in the Air
You Choke Me
