"Idle No More"



A
Nation
is not Conquered
until the
Hearts
of its
Women 
are on the 
Ground,
then it is done,
no matter how brave
its Warriors
nor how strong
the
 Weapons.

~Since 11 December, 2012, Chief Theresa Spence of the Attawapistkat First Nation
has been on Hunger Strike.  On behalf of her people and all First Nations, Chief Spence
has requested a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to discuss Canadian 
treatment of First Nation's people.  Too date, this meeting has not been granted. 
In the name of Justice and Compassion this meeting needs to take place, and
open dialogue must begin, for the benefit of all. This issue not only affects those in Canada,
but its consequences are far-reaching.
 
To Chief Theresa Spence: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God continue to hold
you in the palm of His mighty hand.~May your Light continue to shine and be a continual Beacon of Hope to
all peoples of  First Nations. ~Beannaichte'!

"Crisis"



I rise to the occasion
        and above the noise...


"I see in the near Future 
a Crisis approaching that unnerves me to tremble
for the Safety of my Country...
Corporations have been enthroned and an Era of Corruption
in High Places will follow,
and the many Powers of the Country will endeavor to prolong
its reign by working upon the Prejudices of the People
until all Wealth is aggregated
in  Few Hands
and the 
Republic
is 
destroyed."


United States President;
Abraham Lincoln
21 November, 1864

"Social Commentary"


The names
 don't fool me one bit.
They're not deluxe hotels,
or summer cottages along the ocean.
They're prisons for the elderly,
neglected, and unwanted.
They're kindergartens for broken olde children,
with psychologically programmed games
to keep the children entertained.
Don't try to fool me.
You can cast me aside if I'm in the way, 
but I'm much too old to sit and play. 
My mind is sharp,
my senses keen.
I am no child, I am a man!
Don't make me end 
it all
where it began.
