Back when the buffalo roamed and She had clean streams,
Before the thunder-irons, Jesus and priests,
She had prairies far as the eye could see
Full of peace and harmony.
Now loud sirens, sounds
Engines spinning rubber on the ground.
No silence found in cities nowadays.
The old ways are a lost thought of the past.
The savage, “less-than-man”
Was rid of his land, animals and plants
That he, his family, kin and enemies
All respect beyond the word’s modern meaning.
Now we blow debris off side-walks into streets,
Street-sweep, collect, cut three checks of currency already
and there’s plenty in the truck
And the driver don’t give a fuck as long as he’s paid and told
to “Have a nice day.”
He’ll drop shitty city trash on any land of the counties border
And the citizens will thank him for taking away the sight of their problem
Which in turn brings short-term order to a long-term disaster
And I don’t know if the Earth is, but from the looks of it,
the world is getting faster.
Perhaps I play in my head to often
and make dreads on and at times inside my mind.
Coughing, lost in these sounds words and trees.
Soften the load, please I beg thee
Retreat from these alleys and streets temporarily to peaks, valleys and streams
and watch the dreams inside your mind come alive before your eyes.
Just do, don’t try
Cause I’ve watched the dreams inside my mind come alive before my eyes
As I take in, lay naked
Bake in rays today
Give to them said the medicine man,
Respect the land, animals and plants
Which are, all one yet separate
Entities, essences, presences in every tense.
We’re all equal within the wheel.
Coyote, Owl, Buffalo hold more than heart and soul.
They hold knowledge, stories, wisdom and teaching.
Knowledge not just for the keeping.
Stories comedic, tragic, relevant and not just spoken for the hell of it.
Teachings in teepees where herbs and words were shared.
North, South, East, West
Wisdom, Innocence, Illumination, Introspect
Live a whole life, you’ll hold all of them within
And then Great Spirit will transform you again.
North, South, East, West
Wisdom, Innocence, Illumination, Introspect
Live a whole life, and you’ll hold all of them within
And then Great Spirit will transform you again.
Form you again, form you again.

I no longer confine myself to city, county, state, country or continent
‘cause all my life I’ve felt no relent from they and them telling me and we how and where our time is meant to be spent.
Our country is based of off naïve permanence
So we came to this land, posted our flag and started building ranches
We aim for self-profit in spite of others
Make money to die then give to our brothers or take into our grave
We take all day, the only give is a morning shit.
Addicts in basements,
Assholes, pussies and dicks mixed with mixed drinks, prescription pills and cancer sticks
Sick and poor are we while the pharmaceutical economy’s booming in Walgreens and on the streets
Where the slaves were hanged, witches burned at the state
And if this is civilized consider I a primate for I will not partake
For I’m simply waiting for my ship to take me away
either across the sea or into space
Oh, my country tis of thee
Founded by genocide of countless lives and many tribes
consider I a primate for I will not partake
For I’m simply waiting for my ship to take me away
Roads were paved and tracks of trains laid by slaves
and witches burned at the stake
If this is civilized then consider I a primate who will not partake
for I’m simply waiting for my ship to take me away
Either across the sea or into space
“Take me away, take me away”
Is what I hear them say everyday
“Take me away, take me away”
Is what I hear us say every day,
But on Earth, we shall stay
On Earth we shall stay,
On Earth we shall stay.
To take care, caretake and give thanks
Take care, caretake and give thanks,
Take care, caretake and give thanks,
TAKE CARE, CARETAKE AND GIVE THANKS.
