They were here before the settlers arrived
They lived off the land, they knew how to survive
But after the great white spirit came
They lost both their land and their fame

There were many native American tribes
Dakota, Apache, Cherokee, to name a few
But from the Apache tribe a...

Halito

Follow the rythms of nature
Rise and retire with the sun
Enjoy life's journey
But leave no tracks

Deep in the woods I can hear a twig snap
A bird goes into flight that was sitting on a limb beside me
And it just so happens that right now we are at war with another tribe
But I must remember the cries of the mothers and...

He was rsised in New Mexico
and became feared more than Geronimo
The army enlisted  him as a brave
to track down other braves.
Accused of many crimes
he escaped many times.
He led many raids
with his four braves.
He didn't trust his tribe 
so he stayed on the outside.
People say...

and I ain't look'n back.

    When I get there, I'm gonna hike the
Apache trail; forget about my past,
and look forward to the...

she's my apache...shootin arrows of anger straight through my heart of hate

she's my apache...she devistates like hurricanes,twisters and earthquakes

she's my apache...she scalped my spirit and seared my soul

she's my apache...she turns a pile of pure garbage into living mounds of gold

she's cold as ice and...

I want to take a scalpel
And surgically remove countenance
I want to fire a chainsaw
And massacre fast food consciousness
Sever and slash rinky dink rememberance

If you want to honor the dead
Let's go dance on gravestones
Not forgetting the bodies lost in Vietnam jungles

I want to take a hatchet
And...

An Apache pilot once sought for a treasure
In booze, in fun
Sampling leisure and pleasure
Until an Apache chopper gun  

In his attentive ears whispered
Enjoining him to a wound-prone warfront to go
Where the gun the pilot pampered
Soon sadness and recklessness the pilot did forgo

Strafing an egregious...

APACHE

His name was Apache
His eyes were so bright
He was completely full of joy
Hopping, jumping, dancing
Taking naps on top of me
Happiness, love, to fill the universe
Playing with home-made toys
Always excited to see each one
He warbled like a bird when he was held
He filled my heart so...

An Apache hid out in Dragoon
Was revealed by the sight of his moon
In Judge Roy Bean's twang
Came, "By God, you'll hang!
You caused Lily Langtry to swoon!"...

The Cobra sleeps
As the Apache AH-64D awakens
This attack helicopter
Delivers the forsaken

With it's tandem cockpit
Reverse-tricycle landing gear
At the forefront of theatre
It's enemy will fear

Hellfire's and Hydra's
M230 Chain Gun
As the lead rains down
Cutting down the unwanted ones

Into service they were delivered
In March 97'
This breed has arisen
They now...

“Apache”

(Poet’s Instruction: Softly play “Apache” by Jorgen Ingmann, 1961, while reading)

Olathe and Yamka
Cochise and 
Mescalero 
Varlebena - forever
Ya’ateh – Hello to
These streaming flower gardens 
These feathered priests of Gaan 
Their white flags of truce burning 

Geronimo
You can fly now
Fly as an osprey conquering
Retaking the...

The most common subject of quips
Is a girl endowed with two blips
But under the covers
Gallop Pole discovers
Those girls can haul ass with their hips!...

We Are One


Dear Ancient Sister
I hear your distant calls finding me on a gentle breeze
You have lived in my dreams for many seasons

My voice 
Your voice
My soul
Your soul
And our Coming of Age

I have always known you...
I have heard your 
Quiet whispers echoing in
The night coming...
