Yesterday I learned of a great injustice. I wrote about it in last nights blog. I also went to a place I have supported for the last 4 years and posted there. It was unapproved of and a piece of me died.
You see I really enjoyed working there and I enjoyed the people I worked with. But I am vocal about things I don't see right. I will not be muzzled because of politics. While It is politicians doing what politicians do its more than political. Its a slap in the face of humanity. This is sacred ground to this tribe and If it belonged to Christians, Muslims or even Jews this would have not happened. Why because these two senators would not risk loosing votes for the next election but since it only sacred to a people already conquered who cares right?
The Indians of this country do not have a voice that carries to anyone who actually cares. More times or not the voice of the Indians fall on deaf ears. I have a little Indian blood in me my tribe is Sioux. While I do not pretend to know much about that part of my heritage it is still a part of who I am.
I decided that I can no longer support those who will not support me or humanity for that matter. We are all one and until we realize that we will continue down this destructive path we have laid before ourselves as we marvel in our own glory. We have allowed profit to rule all. When will we stop this madness?
You see my Dad has lived in fear his whole life over money. Why? Because that is the destructive road that society has decided to go down. No longer do we help our neighbors. Instead we charge them and then do the bare minimum.
Its this kind of ignorance that has left this tribe fighting for this holy land. Now here is something to think about what if this was your sacred land how would you feel? Would you sit quiet and watch them destroy that which is precious to you. Keep in mind that you already have had all your land taken from you and were told where you can now live.
We either must stand up and fight this corruption or we need to just lay down and die. We traded our humanity for a dollar bill. What could be more sad than that?
