ON BEING DENIED



My tears are gasoline,

My snot explosive

I piss sulphuric acid

and dump brown bombs of hatred



Oh, God, yes, I hate

the murderers of my People

of my Family

of my Ancestors

of my Elders

of myself

Oh, God, yes, I hate



But their hatred far exceeds mine

and mine hurts only me

I bear the hurt alone

I bear the hurt of the World

Alone



And who will share my pain?

You?

Oh, take my hand then, Brother, Sister,

And let us share the pain of the World

Let us pool our tears of Sadness

And drown our Great Grief

Together

You & I

And the People



Yes, together



Mitakuye Oyasin

We are All related

We are All One
