Best Peoples Poems

For several thousands of years
you upheld the sacredness of Nature
avoiding wanton destruction 
of plant and animal life
taking only what you needed
since their sacredness was 
just as important to you
as the sacredness of humanity

When harvesting wild rice for food
you let some fall into the water
to produce...

JOHN M. ARRIBAS

Some people preach that 'Truth - in Might' 
By living their lives in strict adherence to that idea;
But I would say – that needs redressing

Woebegone, enraged spirits

journeying somberly aghast
at their stolen sacred lands... mourn

When I was young I couldn’t wait to go outside and play
when school was not in session on Christopher Columbus Day.

with the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria…in 1492.

Rid the world of man’s envy his greed
Until the last mouth standing...
