Why always this greed, this devastating tormenting greed. If we could just put our energies on our own spiritual path and not always try to interfere in the lives of other nations.

You really understand, speaking like a Native American; the poem speaks volumes of a tragedy that is still felt. I read extensively about what happened when Columbus arrived, and I cannot celebrate Columbus Day.

Instead of slaughtering the Native Americans (who were peaceful and spiritual people), we should have taken their love and care of the earth, because right now we have polluted our earth to such a degree, we could be facing a very hard future.

May Allah bless your heartfelt pen :-)

And so true. Amazing how that history of exploitation is entirely forgotten except as the stuff of legends.

Thank you for the reminder, dear Irving.

Thank you for the kind words :) I am not part Native American, except that we all come from the same human family origins, so we are all related. I have alwways had an affinity with Native American spirituality though.

Ya Haqq!

A lovely poem, ma sha Allah. Eloquent and powerful.

Makes me think of the book ‘The Past is a Foreign Country’
