For Roberta Blackgoat

An old warrior spirit speaks out

with a golden heart of splendor

so loudly in truth, it reaches all worlds.

She is the blood of this land

and she knows the ground of her ancestors.

Within the blue turquoise day

she talks to the breathing landscape.

Somewhere on that lonely highway

she is waiting for the spirit bus

to board it into the ancient way.

Her people are the blood of the land.

Underneath the canopy of sky they pray upon the

floor of ancient Mother Earth,

and powerful storm clouds

gather off in the distance.

For towards you, Mother Earth,

they feel your heart beating.

They can feel you breathe.

They can feel it when you are wounded.

They know your pain.

They will fight for you.

These are traditionalists,

who are not broken.

Their minds are strong. 

In faithful circles they pray. 

In the end, they will prevail!

It is the old way.

It is the only way to resist hate,

greed, manipulation.

They must survive.

Roberta, you are this Warrior Spirit

that speaks out against

all evil and destruction.

With a golden heart of splendor,

You have spoken against the Great Monster. 

Your wisdom will not die.

Your words are sacred.

Loudly they will reach all people everywhere!

"THE CREATOR IS THE ONLY ONE

WHO'S GOING TO RELOCATE ME!"

===========

Those of you who know your true path, follow it

and your Elders. Listen to their warnings.

They are your protectors and defenders.

Only they can lead you in the right way.

Through them is righteousness and wisdom;

where true spiritual power is found.

These are the only humans left whom hold

the rest of our little world together.

Hear them, learn from them, and love them.
