ODE To Standing Rock, December 4, 2016


Rights to Water
The emphasis of life
What’s ours is yours
But not if you poison us

A nation of natives
Joined by a tribe of
Socially Conscientious Citizens
Guarding an indigenous people

Veterans gather from as
faraway as Hawaii
Water Rights Matter
Not just for the Sioux

A time of enough is enough
We want peace
We want a resolution
To protect our children’s children’s children

We sleep in peace tonight
Our collective voices have been Heard
