to be council
council
of the people
of my People
look into my
eyes
tell me
why
why
the People are
less
because
history
your history
calls them conquered
why they are
less
because they
were not stolen
from another
land
because they
did not
immigrate
because
because
why
do you make national
parks
monuments
to Honor
the dead of your
history
while upturning
the Sacred Resting
Place
of our Honored
in the name of
your progress
why
are those that
fought for
the People's
human rights
imprisoned
listed as terrorist
serving life
sentence for uncommmitted crimes
Buried
with no question
investigation
of thier murder
why
as council for
the People
do you not question
react
challenge
the lies of history
taught to the
children
of this land
in the schools
in the media
by your government
why
why
why
in Council
we look to the
eyes of our Speakers
to the faces
hear the heart
and truth
of the words
when did you listen
when did you
see
when did you
feel
why not
