GLEN COVE SHELLMOUND ALERT

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2010 - NOON

The Ancestors Are Crying

The Ancestors are crying

do you hear them ?

We have been shattered, tattered and worn

our babies and old ones

wrapped in your blankets

heartbeats smothered out by your disease

Our warriors numbed with the lure of alcohol

The Ancestors cry

We have lain broken on the trail

forced from our homes

your bullets ripped through us

young and old

and we lay with Big Foot in the snow

The Ancestors cry

Mutilation, slaughter and butcher

Chivington's determination to annihilate

beat the red out of the Indian

convert, assimilate, and destroy

All nations red

The Ancestors cry

Desecrate, destroy the sacred grounds

dig them up, pave it over, give the remains

to the prez's secret society or UC Berkeley

Dishonor the old ones

dishonor all Indigenous people

The Ancestors are crying

do you hear them ?

They are crying out to us

they hear us and weep with us

in our times of pain

We weep now

with the atrocities against the souls

of our Ancestors.
