Poem
We Are The Ghost Dance Poets by David Lee Herring (The Powwow Poet) We come together from near and far Like wise men following the star from the sweet Grass Hills, We come to be filled with the Spirit from on high Holy Great Spirit in the Sky Calls us to come together now He’s our grandfather, he’ll teach us how Peace and Love will prevail For we are the Ghost Dance Poets Summoned together by Great Spirit Fighting this battle with pen instead of arrow Taking the path that is the most narrow Calling all humanity to come together in unity We paddle down the Zuni River As through rusty red silt she slivers On this quest to quench the thirst of our souls we surrender all control to the guidance of Great Spirit We answer his Call as we hear it With the rattle of the Gourd and the beat of the drum We all come together as one For we are the Ghost Dance Poets Summoned together by Great Spirit Fighting this battle with pen instead of arrow Taking the path that is the most narrow Calling all humanity to come together in unity Some begin their journey at Bear Butte Others start their passage at Pahuk All from different nations and tribes For We are Great Spirit's Scribes His poems pour forth from our tongues We sing songs like our Fathers have sung Prophetic rhymes of warning to mankind earth is your mother, respect and love her We all sprang up from her soil Now we must all join in and toil Gather and labor together to save her For we are the Ghost Dance Poets Summoned together by Great Spirit Fighting this battle with pen instead of arrow Taking the path that is the most narrow Calling all humanity to come together in unity See, Wounded Knee could not stop the poets Over a hundred years ago and We still hear it The sound of the drum calling us to come and all join together in the circle And once again there'll be miracles Bringing healing to our bodies and souls As from all tribes together we dance For Dance is a form of romance It's Intimacy with the Holy One As all of his daughters and sons Worship the Father together as one For that is how true healing comes For we are the Ghost Dance Poets Summoned together by Great Spirit Fighting this battle with pen instead of arrow Taking the path that is the most narrow Calling all humanity to come together in unity
