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!
Plus:
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.
Please! Enjoy!
