mitakuye oyasin

all my relations

the lakota knew

and you will too

all things are one

related

we are as one with the infinite sun

the wind the wave the air we breathe

the grass the trees the butterflies and bees

all things are related

when one of our brothers suffer so we shall suffer as well

our mother earth has been poisoned and raped of her resources

her blood drained

her skin blasted

our brothers and sisters of every species suffer cause only man has the arrogance to believe in dominance

the grandfather trees they all will fall to build our walls

our walls that keep out nature

nature that is a part of us and we of it

why has man separated itself from its kin?

forgotten the interconnectedness of all things?

only a tiny mind would believe their brain is too big to need the water we drink the air we breathe the dirt beneath our feet and our brothers and sisters of every species.

yes even the lowest of viruses and germs are part of our family ..and necessary as well

all things are in balance till we tip the scales

when the scales tip

who will fall first?

long after we are gone the common cold will go on
