Carl Hitchens - tracking the self …
2016
Yes, we don't forget the hard road we've come, the many trails of tears, the fire hoses, the dogs; the stolen lands, genocide, and deracination from our original homes; the bullets and canon fire that yoked us to reservations and plantations, the whippings and the lynchings; the booby traps, land mines, the loss of limbs, and death by mortal combat, defending our stake in the American Dream.
We do not forget our earned and legitimate claim to the USA, as our country and future. And we shall not be overcome. Nor shall we reduce ourselves to the same evil and hatred perpetrated against us. For we are people of the Earth, of generosity of spirit, of heart and soul. We are lovers of life and mystical origin, standing firm and strong. We are the ones we've been waiting for—celebrating our uniqueness and commonality with all life. We stand grateful and humble before life and the Great Mystery. We stand persistent as the mountains, relentless as the seas.
We are the People, standing strong!
All my Relations
