Once the wind thought it was a cloud When it was told this was not so It cried and cried Until it was only wind again

The Old Place

Black Hills of Dakota

Audio Recordings, Environment / tagged Betrayal, First Nations / June 8, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
The red man mines his life for irony while the white man tears the earth for iron But treaties protect the sacred stones as long as rivers flow and grass grow Paper covers rock in the Black Hills of Dakota Gold in the Black Hills, end of treaty Scissors cut paper in the Black Hills of Dakota But sacred stones outlive them all Rock breaks scissors in the Black Hills of Dakota

The Jester

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry / tagged Politics / June 5, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
For Them the World Poet Only the jester dares to tell the truth to the king to hold the blade as a mirror and thrust to the heart of the thing And yet he has learned to retreat as fast as a smile might fade sit with his back to the stone and polish the blade
