The National Gallery
\nIts red banners too
\nAnd classical pillars lit up
\nAnd on view
\nA group of drummers
\nand a didgeridoo
\nClapping and chanting
\nA vigil so true<\/p>\n
STanding Rock and the black snake
\nOn all of our minds
\nNElson on top of his
\nPlinth always finds
\nA semblance of silence
\nUp thereIn the darkness where he
\nHas been ever since
\nhe returned from the sea<\/p>\n
Blessing the water
\nThe water of life
\nRecalling the Missouri
\nand all of their strife
\nThe beat of our drums
\nOn this November night
\nAnd the thrust
\nOf the didge
\nAnd the dance to delight<\/p>\n
ST Martins resplendant
\nDecked out in white light
\nA great bunch of souls
\nClearly there tonight
\nTo remember our sisters and brothers
\nCamped where
\nThe Dakota Access PIpeline
\nReally does scare<\/p>\n
The living daylights out of us all
\nOur uplift of energy
\nWhich did not fall
\nFrom the moment we started
\nUntil it did end
\nA magical atmosphere
\nWe all did send<\/p>\n
The weather stayed fine
\nThe wind wasnt cold
\nAnd the smudge and the music
\nSomething to behold
\nSending our collective
\nPrayers to on high
\nTo our sisters and brothers
\nAll fighting to try<\/p>\n
And stop all this madness
\nThese shock levels do
\nSharpen resolve
\nThat now has to fall through
\nHow can it continue
\nThe black snake of death
\nThat will ruin the water
\nAnd shorten our breath<\/p>\n
NO DAPL NOw or ever<\/p>\n
WATER Is LIFE<\/p>\n
All treaty land is sacred and cannot be stolen
\nFrom us without a fight<\/p>\n
