They stand in the shadows
\nUp on the hill
\nThoughtlessness sadly
\nStarting to spill
\nA tactical encampment
\nUsing strong light
\nTo illuminate our camps
\nIn the dead of the night<\/p>\n
They are irrational
\nIssuing threats
\nWhere ancestors ashes
\nWere scattered
\nThe debts unpaid
\nBy these robocops
\nBelieving that they
\nHave the right to be there
\nAt the end of the day<\/p>\n
Insentient trolls
\nWith their fancy ideas
\nTake off your goggles
\nIts heightening fears
\nUp here on the hill
\nWhere we want to pray
\nThey are heavily armed
\nAnd exuding dismay<\/p>\n
A bridge had been built
\nAnd some walked across
\nBut were being warned
\nIt would be at their loss
\nIf we went home
\nThey would leave too
\nNo confrontation
\nAnd thats what we did do<\/p>\n
The elders decided to go back to camp
\nWith at least 6 shot guns
\nAnd hose pipes to ramp
\nUp the confusion
\nThe testable pain
\nThey could always come back
\nAnd try it again<\/p>\n
The white folk in Bismark
\nClearly got through
\nTo the pipe line constructors
\nThats why it comes through
\nIndigenous treaty land
\nBecause they knew
\nThey we were much weaker
\nThe land of the Sioux<\/p>\n
America’s treaties don’t stand up in law
\nThey are just bits of paper
\nNobody’s sure
\nWho owns what land
\nIts been sold again
\nTo the energy partners
\nReally thats plain<\/p>\n
To see its skullduggery
\nTypically so
\nAnd of course theres dissent
\nAs the numbers now grow
\nReservation land
\nDefiance we see
\nThe cops armed and dangerous
\nThe indigenous free
\nSpirits, with prayer
\nWith sweat lodges and care
\nWith love and devotion
\nJust to be there<\/p>\n
Ignorance clearly
\nThe unconscious cops
\nSo unenlightened
\nAnd unbriefed
\nAll the stops
\npulled out
\nTo alarm with the weaponry
\nThey
\nThe height of absurdity
\nIn their display<\/p>\n
Unblessed with wisdom
\nAnd ungifted as hell
\nFatuous arguments
\nThey try to sell
\nUp against sages
\nAnd elders who know
\nWhat is right from wrong
\nAnd why their numbers do grow<\/p>\n
KElcey Warren’s men
\nClearly do what they want
\nThey have the weapons
\nAnd he is the font
\nOf human knowledge
\nHe is their king
\nWhen he says jump
\nThey jump and they bring<\/p>\n
To bear on the people
\nWith prayer in their hearts
\nWith drums and with smudge
\nExpecting up starts
\nWill give in to them
\nBut I don’t think they will
\nAnd its clear to me that blood
\nThey will spill<\/p>\n
Enthused by their numbers
\nAnd their history
\nThe indigenous move forward
\nTheir plainness we see
\nTheir interpretation
\nIs this is their land
\nSold off by the government
\nWhich we don’t understand<\/p>\n
They want what they want
\nAnd they do what they do
\nAnd theres no going back
\nThe pipe must go through
\nWith OBama’s hands tied
\nBy the high masters who
\nHave decided its route
\nIts affirmed and its true<\/p>\n
We know its bad faith
\nThey are liars in fact
\nIts about double dealing
\nAnd who will react
\nWorse the white people
\nIn Bismark
\nOr you
\nTreaty land people
\nThats what they do<\/p>\n
Two faced and treacherous
\nForked tongues they be
\nThey lie like troopers
\nAnd Wait and see
\nWho they perceive are the weaker
\nAnd they
\nPlumped for the native born
\nSouls anyway<\/p>\n
Cheaters and swindlers
\nThats America now
\nTop down they are at it
\nYou may ask how
\nFalse flags and fakes
\nThey always betray
\nTheir friends and their people
\nEveryday<\/p>\n
Whats going to happen
\nMy gut feeling they
\nWill have to back down at the end of the day
\nThe black snake is coming
\nThe MISSOURI will see
\nIts vast bowels re open
\nOne day it will be<\/p>\n
Coughing its sputum and it will destroy
\nThe water for sure there will never be joy
\nThe corporate speak here is suck it and see
\nAnd if it goes wrong we are gone actually
\nSo then you can take it up with others who
\nWill be around to do what they do
\nA charm offensive bull shit and more
\nWith the feculant spirit outside your door
\nIll bealth and disease its all up to you
\nThis land is now our land and that much is true<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
