I Am Here

It's like quoting
from the bible
the sacred cows
are coming home
to graze
on the bones
of the nation
'wasichu'
the one who eats
the fat

People rise up?
Not if the
capitol crew
has their way
elections
part of the entertainment
these days



Up against the wall
time to stand
or fall
no half-stepin
no time for mythology
no time for me-ism

We've had our minds
colonized
lost our humanness
back down the road
a piece

finding bits of it
along the way now
moss on trees
small boy
whistling
warming hearts
he deserves
a chance
to live
we fight for him

we walk on
singing da-da-da-da
and stomping our
sore tired feet

We love
the drum
chant gets us
up the hills
and down
the wet road
mile after
mile

Cars whiz by
clouds in the sky
many wonder why
I have no doubts
I am here
