clan mother


this weekend
there was talk
clan mothers
two row wampum

it all seemed
familiar
injustice
residential schools

sickens
hurts
how do we begin
to heal?


how does one heal
a nation?

loss of jobs
lack of respect
racism
white man
takes bigger
piece of pie

justice=peace

no justice
no peace
respect
cooperation

it's all that
simple
but oh so
complex

politics suck
reality
sets in

i met many wise
women
this
weekend
honoured

wise women
hold
the
key

If we lived in a world where women made most of the decisions. There will be no wars, no neglect of children and vamily values will be cherished.
