Right to Know
Take away their power
and ignore their pain.
But culture is perennial,
and no practice is in vain.
You’ve cut the line
but the call is still coming through.
Change is coming.
With or without you.
Take away their language,
but the land will teach them the way.
Knowledge and memories,
will always stay.
Try to obstruct their knowing,
haven’t you heard?
Your graining insistence,
is quiet like the blue bird.
The river is flowing,
the sun is still stirred.
Ancient lines of wisdom,
what are you afraid they might learn?
Your resistance to beauty,
beyond absurd.
When will you let them find freedom?
Surrounded by the colonial herd.
