the world is a changin' (working title)

the world is a-changin', the stories always come true, listen to the wind, they carry them along, like the song of a drum, beating, beating like a heart beat, that beats inside a child or dog, sniffing at a flower, that's pointing to the sun, beaming down at me, looking at the ground, watching little plants, coming through cracks in the pavement, that's crumbling day by day, which starts again new, new and improved is fake, like those teeth polished to white privilege, privilege is going, down down the dumps, which get blocked by others, who don't like what privilege does either, the world is a-changin', the people who slumbered forever wake again, coming to the world of change, that's getting colder, no wait, hotter, no wait colder, no hot..., another thing to think for yourself about, the things that come around go around, people going round round in circles, the circles of life, intertwined with each other, spiralling up and down and crazy sideways, but not really crazy, just very very cool, cool is the winter, like summer is not, my favourite is early summer, with hot it's not and back, back to front, the leaf shines like silver, true colours, not what giant holes dig deep for, but four leaf clovers found in a field, growing through the cracks in the pavement now long gone, the forests that once were are now back, the giant trees speak to me, even though i'm not here, but i live in one, with relations, the human kind, humans?

UPDATE/VIDEO: AKWESASNE WOMEN'S FIRE NEEDS HELP TO STOP GUNS

MNN. July 1, 2009. On Monday June 1st 2009 the Canadian Border Service Agency was to take up arms at the border crossing in the middle of Akwesasne of Mohawk Nation Territory. The people protested. At 11:30 pm on May 31st the CBSA guards abandoned their post and left. Since then, we have peacefully camped on the grounds next to the facility. This is the first video on the ongoing events in the camp and the people.

No band councilors showed up. They have been intimidated by the government, are afraid and caved in. It’s a powerful grassroots Peoples movement with no support from any government.

The caravan was greeted by an emotional welcoming ceremony and social. The people were overwhelmed by the sight of the caravan approaching over the International Bridge onto Kawenoke on Cornwall Island. We will keep it peaceful. The Customs Building is being maintained. Please send your messages of support to nonabena@yahoo.com

Please keep supporting us. The Chocktaw Nation of Oklahoma is coming to bring supplies and to meet the people.

Two Indigenous men hitchhiked from Vancouver. Jayson Fleury said that we are being eliminated by guns. We came to support our brothers and sisters to stop the genocide of our people. His sister ended up as one of Picton’s victims on the farm where dozens of our women were murdered. We will never accept outsiders carrying guns in their midst.

Old videos of gunfire 20 years ago are being used as part of the training of the CBSA that work on the island, completely ignoring the peace that has since prevailed. They probably watch old films where a cowboy shoots one bullet and knocks a whole tribe off their horses. The blue-eyed fat Indians with Brooklyn accents were played by Italians and others. Prejudice is being promoted by showing these kind of old movies to scare the CBSA.
