~churning waters

~political reflections.. people reflections

The wave was rising, waters churning long ago

as an old Eagle spread his wings and said, “Welcome to the Reservation”

we sit and wonder as a nation, how did we arrive here?

The olde ones told us that it was a power rising

we had the control to change the course of creation

we sat on laurels and ignored the signals

churning waters and ink on papers in dark rooms, revelations

slowly soaking up freedoms, power, molding

this present moment…

yet no one marched, protested, spoke to the designations

indications of freedom slipping away

it was never abruptly taken

Here, Now.. we see with more clarity than ever before

what we do not want, illuminating what we do want even more

freedom, kindness, and allowing others free wings

to fly as we, ourselves take flight and sing

this is our collective human dream

As we look at the changes and allow fear to clamp us into paralyzed

believing others control our sacred lives

we must remember we are the creators of our own ecstasy

or our own demise

this… is where TRUE power lies…

Why did we not wake up when the Patriot Act was signed

.. was no one watching as the fascist steps were aligned

were we too busy with our lives and nine to fives

to miss the obvious, or just too lazy to read the signs

We are calling people to march and resist

..what is the strategy Now,

to turn it all around, renew kindness, cause the hatred to desist?

This is the next coming of the same old Calvary

but America, this time they have come for all of “us”

“Executive orders” now in place… we were too damn slow

the warning signs were all there long long ago….

no one believed

no one had time to believe

no one wanted to believe

no one cared enough, so they slept with eyes wide shut

America, are you ready to wake up?

.. we create our own realities, we are far more powerful than we know

Can we make the changes

or has this species been too slow?
