lyrics

Standing Rock
sometimes we need to start with a stark image of reality so we can feel whats happening in actuality let the story be told withstanding a bitter bitter winter cold water protectors at Standing rock taking stock preparing for government assault rifles attack dogs water cannons stun grenades their arsenal against those protected by sweatlodge ceremonies fueled by ancestral memories 7 generation foresight defending that which is vital at a later date as 176,000 gallons of crude oil seeped from pipelines into a creek poisoning earth water sky protectors concerns were now something no one could deny the events made me reflect on something indigenous elders have said to restore the earth we must start with the natural sites we know are sacred powerful beautiful natural places worthy to be venerated here we find in a manner which staggers the mind the greatest concentration and variety of plants ,wood ,oil ,rare metals , minerals to put it in a context that you can visualise contextualise these sites are like the hearts and livers of this earth they also support indigenous cultures which make them also targets for government and corporate vultures who see them as a source of immense profit sacred sites are also hot spots of conflict the high incidence no coincidence land caregivers up against corporate government might corporate media tries to keep it out of sight Standing Rock is not an isolated case numerous examples all over the place as part of our plan time for us to acknowledge and understand that indigenous caretakers know how to take care of and regenerate the land so important to humbly accept the indigenous knowledge in this regard therefore we need to also safeguard the care givers of these natural places their protection is necessary for protection of entire planet we have tried to control manipulate ,dominate , exploit the earth largely for economic gain destablising life and eco systems so called technological advancement is the usual corporate refrain this attitude of domination this brutality to earth has been reflected in humans and resultant diseases causing us consternation we should think not just of how we can put ourselves in good health but also how do we put the land in good health understanding what is the true source of our wealth as franz fannon clears our mental fog we refuse to be just another cog in a machinery intent on brutality to earth not understanding the true value of what life is worth we need to decolonise the apocalyptic ending storyline because the end is part of the future
