Counting On YOU

Counting On YOU

A Poem by Healing Star
"

I borrowed from Nahko Bear's song - Dear Brother - Be Decent America and Peace in America are his and I love the song - and it is so for today in our prayers with Standing Rock - our biggest disgrace.

"

GrandFather - Bring Peace to America
GrandFather - Bring Peace to America
GrandFather - Bring Peace to America

Be Decent America
Be Decent America

Don't walk on your Children America

Do I Live in a Country
Where Money is more important than Blood

Where have we Come to America
Haven't they Poisoned you Enough

Don't you Wanna Take back your Power
That's what the Aboriginal is Offering Us

That's what my Sisters are Saying
That's what the Prayer Mother is Praying

Bring Peace to America

Take this Patriarchal Order
Give it a Decent Burial
It had it's Time
But Now it's time is Through

I'm depending ON YOU
America
I'm depending on YOU
America

I'm trusting in the Strength of my Brothers Wisdom
I wanna move to a Whole new Kingdom
Where a Man can pray where ever His Being Say

I'm depending ON YOU
America
I'm depending on YOU
America

A War has broke out on Dakota Land
The People came together as told in the Prophecy
All Nations Together - for Earth and Humanity
Why don't they Hear, why don't they Understand

We are moving to a Whole New Way of Bein'
Can you hear my Heart, do you See what I'm Seein'
Oh, Baby, it's hard to Look, I know it Well
We been through this, we can do it Again
We been slaughtered in our Lives Before
But the Ancestors Tell Me, No More
But the Ancestors Tell Me, No More

You see this is the last Time they be doin' This
It's been goin' on Forever, long before that Kiss
But each and every drop that has ever been Spilled
No matter what you do, you can't Break our Will

I am Calling on my Brother
I am Calling on my Sister
Open Your Heart, don't be Blind to this Need

I am Calling on the Fathers
I am Calling on the Mothers
Open your Heart, Don't be buried by your Greed
I am Calling on the Children
I am Calling on the Kings

I still Believe, in the Goodness of Heart
I still Believe, in the Power of God
That God that Lives Within Me
And the same one in You

In the Home in the Mountain
In the Teepee on the Plain
You see when it Rains
We all get wet just the Same

I'm calling on the Preacher
I'm calling on the Teacher
I'm calling on the Elder
I'm calling on the Child

It does not really Matter
What life has been until Now
But we gotta raise the Chatter
Get the word to All some How

Take this Patriarchal Order
Give it a Decent Burial
It had it's Time
But Now it's time is Through

I'm depending ON YOU
America
I'm depending on YOU
America

I'm trusting in the Strength of my Brothers Wisdom
I wanna move to a Whole new Kingdom
Where a Man can pray where ever His Being Say

I'm depending ON YOU
America
I'm depending on YOU
America

And through this Disgrace on our Soil
The more they Bring the greater our Strength
The prayers will Continue, the Snake Coils
We will go distance, any Length

They may think we'll be Leaving
But even if we are Grieving
We will stand to the End
Bring it all Again and Again

Through the Disgrace of their Hearts
They will be conquered from Within
They will twist the story how it Starts
But on their Hearts is an Evil Sin

America, I'm calling On You
Don't let this go Unnoticed
America, to your Heart be True
Let your Mother hold you the Closest

Where do you Stand Now America
Where do you Stand Now America
Where do you Stand Now America

For You, is Money more important than Blood

We are Stained now America
We are Stained now America
We are Stained now America

The Pipeline Owner and the Governor
The Pipeline Owner and the Governor
Got Blood on their Hands

And when their Goons try to fall Asleep
They'll hear the Screams of the Children
And a Poison from the blood on their hands will Seep
They will hear the Voice of the GrandMa again, and again, and again

I'm depending ON YOU
America
I'm depending on YOU
America

Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America

Tell them to Put Down the Mace Spray
Tell them to disband the snipers on the Wings
Tell them to stop launching the percussion Grenades
Tell them to not taser the women, and elders in the Face

I am Calling on my Brother
I am Calling on my Sister
Open Your Heart, don't be Blind to this Need

I am Calling on the Fathers
I am Calling on the Mothers
Open your Heart, Don't be buried by your Greed
I am Calling on the Children
I am Calling on the Kings

Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America

Be Decent America

Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America

Be Decent America

Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America
Bring back Peace to America

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..
