Poem
Navajo Spirit The Amazon is amazing, so why are you still destroying, Its beauty and your integrity? You are a monster devouring. This natural beauty is in our way; So we must destroy to build again. We must cause Mother Nature incredible pain; For she has given us all these trees and this bloody rain. A forest stump wouldn’t complain about anything. Oh no! A Navajo! We must kick them out of their homes! We come in peace, Shoot to kill! Shoot to kill! We come in peace, Shoot to kill! Er; Captain. Yes what is it? This thievery is taking longer than expected. What!? Do you think I am an idiot? No Sir; it’s just, we haven’t got enough biscuits. What about Jaffa Cakes? No Sir, we’re all out. Well what about meat? It’s all dead and cannot be eaten. What do you mean? It’s obviously dead. (Clout!) Ow! Sorry Sir, I mean it has gone rotten. Well find some more natives and buy some more meat. We can’t Sir; they have disappeared, since the last broken treaty. They haven’t been seen and new supplies we just cannot get. Doh! Why did we have to be such bloody stupid English Men? Now we shall all starve because we couldn’t share the land; The winter is coming and we have no friends. Oh hello…I am Amity. I am a Navajo. You look rather ill…where is your home? England, I think; please help me I’m starving. Oh of course, wait a second and I’ll get cooking. Here take this, it will make you healthy. Cough! Sorry. I never meant to scare you. Oh you didn’t, don’t be silly. I just saw you lying here in need; So I thought I would come and see, If there was anything I could do. You’re too kind, after the way my people have treated you. Oh don’t be silly, you gave us money, To help us arm ourselves against you. Such irony really, when we could just have been friends. Here smoke this peace pipe, it is completely free… I’m seeing visions… I see us as neighbours, living beside each other in peace; I see a time of change in the wind beneath our dreams. Let us live in peace and never forget history; For the Navajo Spirit has always been at home In the Land of the Free. (C)2011 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
