Spirit-mirage!

Spirit!-Mirage!

(an Indian-pony song)

 

Lord! Give Spirit-Mirage a-rest; he’s a mountain-mustang best

We’ve come some distance-way; he carried-me astride all-day

Spirit represents my Love-wild; a-fantasy Spirit-Mirage smiled

 

Like a black-wave upon some prairie-sea millions of indigenous-bison

Viewed from-a-hillock, too numerous to-tally from here to far-horizon

 
Fed! Clothed! & Sheltered! Native-Indians for a forty-millennia accord
Westward-expansion” demanded entrenched-people interests be-ignored
 
Slick-suited politicos in-Washington a-purpose drafted genocide-legislation
Paper-treaties devoid-of-value herded the-renegades to barren-reservations
 
Lord! Give Spirit-Mirage a-rest; he’s a mountain-mustang best
We’ve come some distance-way; he carried-me astride all-day
Spirit represents my Love-wild; a-fantasy Spirit-Mirage smiled
 
The North American hostiles eventually-defeated held an Honor-light
Out-numbered! Out-gunned! Fought a valiant-brave noble red-man fight
 
History hypocrisy-abridged to herald-sing positive Progress-“success”
White-eyes” victorious over heathen-savages in any will-of-right test
 
“High-brow” Elites-of-wealth salved-guilt discovering Indian-art appealing
Ooh’s & “Aah’s” Hypocritical-worthy voids race-prejudice so-revealing
 
Lord! Give Spirit-Mirage a-rest; he’s a mountain-mustang best
We’ve come some distance-way; he carried-me astride all-day
Spirit represents my Love-wild; a-fantasy Spirit-Mirage smiled
 
Easy-enough for-moderns to-judge from a-comfort of living-room chairs
Assuage a-collective guilty-conscience of-racism in hopeless vacant-repairs
 
“I didn’t do-it! My-ancestors!? Evil!” Such misdirected-excuses won’t cut-it
From a self-serving mouth?---A-simple: Mea-culpa!...Then…tightly shut-it!
 
So? Through time/space of Life/Love each-individual might try to-improve
Play the hand-dealt from-the-top; wager only owned-chips in a Truth!-groove
 
Lord! Give Spirit-Mirage a-rest; he’s a mountain-mustang best
We’ve come some distance-way; he carried-me astride all-day
Spirit represents my Love-wild; a-fantasy Spirit-Mirage smiled
Amen!

Book-offerings & blog-info.:
 
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! This sacred-trinity defines the paradigm
of my writing-offerings. I perceive a surreptitious (quickly becoming
“blatant”) assault on these Traditional American-values. My intent
is to counter such evil with a message of Christian-generosity Love!
 
These books (12) and my blog-posts (totaling 1953 & counting) extol
an example of Live! Love! Laugh! in a modern-world lacking civility.
