The American Indians' Ritual
This is ritual to honor Mother Earth,
clear water, rivers and streams.
We are dancing, we are chanting –
imitating animals.
We express our pain,
our sorrow, our grief,
caused by the other men.
Hear us Great Spirit, our Manitu.
We dance with tremor.
May Great Spirit find us worthy.
Spin, spin Mother Earth
for distant better is future.
Our dance is about the Universe,
Galaxies and their Black Holes,
stars million times larger than our planet
and their fiery lights.
We dance with tremor,
asking Great Spirit
that on the Judgment day
the Sun does not swallow the Earth.
