Standing Rock The pipeline is the bloodline, of an Empirical Two Headed Dragon, The Divided States of America used to be united, can someone please tell me what the heck happened, Standing Rock just might be the last stand for anyone that’s still standin’, Standing Rock, is not a photo op, it’s not a festival, it’s Indians and Cops, more correctly, it’s Native Americans and Corporate Hitmen, it’s the crossroads, where environmental defense intersects with big business interests, it’s getting intense, water cannons and flash grenades, mock democracy and a Trump presidency, military disguised as cops, and cops disguised as military, as the original defenders of this land, continue to make a stand, at Standing Rock this is not a photo op, this is indirect imperial tactics meets Direct Action, highly ironic, that I write this on Thanksgiving, the day before Black Friday, tell me what you do that’s worth livin’, Quite fitting, that I’m writing this on Thanksgiving, a “holiday” in a way, but really just a heist by villains disguised as pilgrims, well then, where does that leave us now, several hundred years later, at Standing Rock having a powwow, how, have we gotten here, and how, as so little changed we’re, still in this sticky situation, battling hearts that are as black as oil, still ******* the blood out of Mother Earth, still battling Two Headed Serpent Dragon as it coils, the pipeline is the bloodline, of an Empirical Two Headed Dragon, The Divided States of America used to be united, can someone please tell me what the heck happened, Standing Rock just might be the last stand for anyone that’s still standin’. Defendin’, the Sacred, with Love, over Hatred. Water Is Life. ∆ Aaron La Lux ∆ www.amazon.com/Aaron-La-Lux/e/B00ODPJAOK

I'd like to tell you a story It begins in 1492 When dear old Christopher Columbus Sailed the ocean blue He landed on what he thought To be the country of India He stumbled upon a group of people Who appeared to be indigenous Because these native people Happened to be where he thought he was He called them all "Indians" && somehow that name stuck They welcomed his group with open arms Even offered them their feast Unaware that deep inside They were but wolves, dressed as sheep Columbus && his crew Soon ravaged the land They took what they saw Then they took full command Of the people they found On the land where they landed They felt they should rule So they stepped in, heavy handed They murdered the people Who had taken them in Set fire to their villages While the victims watched with their kin Flash forward to the future It's now 2016 It's been over 500 years Since the overtaking by the regime Future settlers decided To let the survivors live on They designated them small areas Of what had not yet been robbed These Native Americans, Generally keep to themselves They get by living off their land But now they need your help The Sioux of Standing Rock Are being horribly mistreated The state of North Dakota Is poisoning them without reason A pipeline has been built That runs through this Native territory When Bismarck residents didn't want it It was rerouted, how discriminatory People from all over the country Are seeming to agree They are making the commute To protest peacefully In defense of an oppressed people Who only want to live But the government is stepping in Even blowing off some limbs "Let them die, they're not like us" the message the administration is sending It seems that after all this time The battle is never-ending What exactly does it take For people to see eye-to-eye? In the end we're all just human   We kiss, we laugh, we cry So if you have a heart at all If you know that this is wrong Please join the Sioux in their mission By coming together, we can be strong
