Humanity Loses To Big Oil Dakota Injustice
....happening a few hours north and west of where I live in Minneapolis
Bulldozers pushed earth into mounded walls all along the watchtower.
Wild Sunflowers, roots exposed, gasped for life, uncomfortablysideways, faces driven into
mud.Stun-gun wires, the few that escaped the eyes of the cleaners, barbed claws still red from piercing skin, poked up in human ignorance.
Earth raped, a violation of sacred grounds, burned in the hearts of Dakota Native Americans.
How can Native Peoples tresspass on Treaty Lands?
The world is watching, and we see with clear eyes, our hearts are heavy with your tears.
