| Twenty Four Hours Requested by � goeswith3faces When the first conquerors arrived, they asked for peace and it was granted them in love and respect like the indigenous people used to give and used to share all things. When the first conquerors arrived, they asked for food and it was granted them in love and respect like the indigenous people used to give and used to share all things. When the first conquerors arrived, they asked for gold and it was granted them in love and respect like the indigenous people used to give and used to share all things. With love and respect, the indigenous people did not understand the greed of the conquerors and before they were able to understand, they were sent by the conquerors with lead, fire, steel, and sicknesses into their deaths. When the first settlers arrived, they ask for peace and it was granted them in love and respect like indigenous people used to give and used to share all things. When the first settlers arrived, they asked for land and it was granted them in love and respect like indigenous people used to give and used to share all things. When the settlers saw their chance coming, they did not ask anymore and they took what they were pleased to own. With lead, fire, steel, and sickness they soaked the ground with Native blood and called it home. The few Natives who survived were pushed into reservations to make them forget who they are and where they came from. They lost their lives, roots, cultures, and religions in love and respect to the Great Mystery, like they used to win and like they used to loose. A bell of freedom rings on the grave of innocent. Now, after more than 500 years suffering the grandchildren of the survivors ask for twenty-four hours a year to honor their ancestors and to remember the true roots of �the land of free�. To grant it, would show that even when it is impossible to turn back the wheel of time, the truth of history is accepted and that reason, understanding, and compassion will guide the citizens of �the land of free� into an honorable future. It would show that humanity is not only a word without content. Who wouldn�t like to hear the ringing of the bell of freedom on the rock of truth �? With Love and Greatest Respect to all lives on Mother Earth. ~ Goes-with-three-faces ~ |
