Last Night I Started a Campfire
On a concrete pad Somewhere in my parents Backyard
Like I was breaking a Curse
Those Dancing Flames
Were rich
Consider them a Disburse
When I slept that Night
I didn't sleep well
I had nightmares
As if in the Afterlife the Rolls were Reversed
Like actually, it was a sin to Be Manifestly Christ Immersed
So Until the End of This Life
F*ck going to Church
Because last night I Saw Visions
Of Lives Not Given a Chance to be Driven off in A Hearse
Like just to Find Women And Children
Massacred
Because they didn't Englishly Converse
Or Spanishly Converse
They would Take without Asking
There was no Commerce
Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull,
Geronimo, Red Cloud
The Founding Fathers
Being one with the Land Where
You were Born is how an Indigenous
Conquers
So f*ck 5,000, It's more like 19,000 Years Ago
Where Just to
Lose it All in 500
Now isn't that just
The Fucking Worst?
No Intent on Getting Reimbursed
What the Hell else can I Add to this Verse?
Oh yeah, I'm Persuaded by Who Owned the Land First
Dead Chiefs helped me With this Song
The lyrics have been very Well rehearsed
Isn't it odd that I can Coincide
In my Nightmares or
In my Visions
With Victims of a Genocide?
White Man was like a Repellant
A Native American Pesticide
There was no Indigenous Justice
Nobody held accountable
Not One Action was Justified
I ain't no Redskin it's only In my Steel Horse I Ride
Not saying that I can't Ride
But I care a lot for Generations way Outside
Of my Comfort Zone
For them I carry Pride
Hoping the Native Elders Come Full Circle Enough That they Might've Joyfully Cried
And that their Tears will
Help me Get Through the Night
That Culture is Damn Near Extinct
Nationwide
I hope the help
Of these Songs Applied
Helps Indigenous Souls Rethink Suicide
Even though their live's Might Literally be Crucified
That term isn't used lightly
Though, it doesn't need to Be specified
Run and Get Help
That is always within your Reach
Don't feel like you have to Run and Hide
It's in your blood to simply Survive
So it's ok to run when your Drunk abusive father Arrives
That instinct derives from The Inside
Besides
The True Creator
Is True Love
Who is Family isn't always Blood
Remember who Decides
It's Fate to Find Real Friends
Where you find Happiness
Is where your Heart Resides
Christians Believe in Blessings
I Believe Everyone Deserves Delights
You've gotta believe sooner Or later
Your Paradise will Ignite
