Venus in the east 5 a.m. feeling like I can get mine
condo out in Malibu weekend trips to Greek Corfu
fortifications thick and high
I intuite another way entertain another notion
roots deep in herstory tentative arrival
hunger in our home homeless in our house illiteracy and neglect
to sleep without a meal to bed without a blanket
horizon of deep hopelessness
I intuite another way entertain another notion
roots deep in herstory tentative arrival
future in the morning strike out for the new place
rising to the steepest incline
fasting for the family feasting on the wonder
dance in twin circles of light
I intuite another way entertain another notion
roots deep in herstory tentative arrival

not all of us were gentle when the blue coats came
not all of them were killers the effect was the same
in the past true it was when the blue coats came
bringing devastation continuous today
who do you call the savage who laid the long trail of tears?
whirling dervish death when the blue coats came
harvesting the children the women and men
massacre without warning when the bluecoats came
martyr red early morning like buffalo from the train
who do you call the savage who laid the long trail of tears?
refrain:
winter and spring mountain stream birchbark boats on the great lake
summer and fall adobe wall prairie wind scented my way
the land that we walked when the blue coats came
no one of us could sell what was not in our name
spinning in the firmament when the blue coats came
spiritual spiraling ancient star plan
who do you call the savage who laid the long trail of tears?

In a building some occasion some procedure some event
in another something other an unnerving silence kept
still another random tenant such disturbing sentiment
at the grocer from a jokester something lighter in intent
some people can talk some people cannot
I may not understand you can't even say your name
but the place where we are standing has arisen from the flames
resurrected from the ashes once re-born and once re-made
once in death and once in darkness now in commerce so engaged
building warehouses of folly business towers stab the sky
disenchanted yet addicted to the plastic ash tray lie
from the yacht in Boston Harbor to the Kennebunkport place
the obsequious servant pentagon vast waste
in an orchard some occasion some procedure some event
in a wetland something other an unnerving silence kept
on a hilltop random tenant such a wary sentiment
at the shoreside at the high tide some fish laughter some fish spent
some people can talk some people cannot

My Town got no police got no guns my town
got no soup line no one on the run my town
got no lawn spray no euphemism we love the present
we gotta bell to ring it's free we gotta dance & sing
it's free we gotta gardening it's free
we gotta sun set/rise it's free
we gotta seasons four it's free
my town doesn't have a skyline my town
blends with the tree line my town
no chemical refinery my river plays with the fishes
my town no nuclear dump my town no nuclear plant
my town loves the future
we gotta bunch of lunch it's free we gotta ton of fun
it's free we gotta infirmiry it's free
we gotta play each day it's free
we even work for free it's free
we got no burial fee it's free
my town got no bosses my town's got people equal
my town no palace in the high place

we got community digs up there where everyone can go
we gotta education it's free we gotta medication it's free
we gotta food & shelter it's free we gotta good company
it's free we gotta good company it's free
