A Poem for Talon and the little ones within us all
by Red Spirit Hawk {Sha)
I circle around skies for the Creator
in the body of a hawk I fly.
My eyes are very sharp and
I see many great acts to be shared
with the Creator about the children below.
We have been called the People,
no matter to what tribe we born to,
and The People knew many truths
We knew we were here to care for Mother Earth,
to honor all of her children,
be they of the pants, animals or the People.
We were to honor the food we ate,
giving thanks to its source for a bounty
given us so freely,
out of our shared love for the Creator
We gave prayers to all that surrendered
their lives to us, that we may live.
Then Others came unto the lands
the creator had given to us to hold
The People of all lands were supposed
to remember the sacredness of all life
was to be honored and thanks to be given
Taking only what was needed
for at that moment in time.
The new ones did not remember.
They slaughtered without thought
for the fun of the killing
Soon their lands no longer held
populations to murdered,
that gave them this pleasure.
Their spirits within grew sick
due to the lack of killing
That it has learned to feed on.
Little ones were born to them.
Helpless beings for their twisted needs,
to be tortured as if they were enemies
instead of their sacred responsibility
They felt littles had no rights and
were only there to bring them pleasure
of a horrible sick life, until their victims died
Sometimes those twisted littles survived.
The sickness of those who rased them
became their way life too.
It was the way pleasure was to be gained.
Thus it became the way live was lived
and it was to be passed on.
It would be continued on and on,
forever by each new generation of littles
My heart cried for each little lost.
I wished to fly no more
The creator called me to its side.
It asked me what was bothering me
What had hurt my soul so much,
that I did not want to live.
I told it of the pain and sickness, that I felt
when each small being was lost.
It told me to look at the world,
this Earth School it had created
to speed up a Soul's growth.
Just "loving all" provide a very slow
growth within this universe.
Eons could pass before a Soul
learn what ones lifetime time
could give in this Earth school.
Great acts of evil and good
had their own rewards in learning.
No one wishes to live a bad life
but without Earth School
how could one learn what love was?
Universal love does not have the same
depth of feelings that being a parent
or a child could bring
All volunteer for these lessons.
They wished to learn, so they
can become great spiritual beings
like Mother Earth or Grandfather Sun.
All in the Universe study and grow.
Even I grow and evolve with each of you
That you heart can feel this degree of love,
shows you are ready to go to Earth School
as One of the People to join Mother Earth
now as she readies for rebirth
to her next level of spiritual growth.
I need you to go and to teach
all of love you have learned
while flying around boundaries of the sky.
I am asking you to volunteer for Earth School.
All I can promise is the chance for great growth.
All Earthlings have free choice.
I write no scripts for their lives and
only the promise an environment for
evolution of the Soul.
You write you own scripts for your live.
Your reactions to this environment will be
what you choose to make in the moment.
Now I wonder, as I sit on a mountain top
if all the pain I had suffered really helped.
In my heart of hearts I know it did.
I am one of the People and
I have remembered that I do this
out of love for all of my relations,
Mitakuye Oyasin, AHO!
