they speak with
forked tongues
who made promise
after promise
for the safety, for
the sanctity
of the People’s
Sacred Lands
and now the Children
of the Earth Mother
dance and pray and
stand their ground
supported by the
buffalo, the eagles,
people from foreign
lands salute them
people from other
endangered waters
come stand with
them, hope with them
tears of many
mothers fall for their grandchildren
wondering if the
fate of the reptiles
will be visited upon
posterity
those who have ears
to hear are deaf
those who can afford
fresh water are cold
it is time to
believe and understand
that if one goes
without pure water
it affects us all
and we must all speak out
