Yellow Thunder

Yellow Thunder


Yellow Thunder

Life is cheap

Makes me wonder

How you sleep

 

We ruled the plains

Before the trains

Hunted Buffalo

Lived to share

Came to know

God in care

 

More and more your lust does abound

Pollute the skies violate the ground

A road to a destination known well

Hell

 

Yellow Thunder

Six feet under

Still his cries

Electrifies

Our soul

 

You stole our land

With wicked hand

Your tongues still lie

And we defy

Your control

 

Our Great Spirit lives

Wisdom a gift he gives

Wisdom to perceive

Wisdom to believe

Your vain and futile path

Will be repaid with wrath

 

The Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria

Ships numbered three

Once more they shall sail the sea

For the land will be purged by fire

And you shall bow to our desire

You cities, roads, intrusions, no more

Burned Babylon the Whore

And on those ships you shall return

Where you go is not our concern

 

And Yellow Thunder will rock the Earth

And Yellow Thunder shall know rebirth

As countless drops of endless rain

Wash away the bitter stain

Soothing relief from the pain

Our land shall be our land again

Perfect, Pristine, Pure

And Yellow Thunder shall walk once more

Wanka Tanka

Wanka Tanka

 

You don’t know my name but you can call me ‘Sir’

I’m the man who can stop all this war

I’ve been this way a time or three before

This is my last time

This is my last rhyme

So I’ll be racking up the score

 

You only see my shadow

They call me a ghost

They call me a spirit

Some dare say I’m a lie

But they’ll repent once they die

I Am swinging a mighty axe

Babylon shall fall

Along with Mister Trump

And all that will remain is the stump

 

I cry to the Lakota, Nakota, Dakota

To the Nez Perce

To the Apachie, Hopi and all the rest

I have many things to say

My people are the best

What we have forgotten from yesterday

We will relearn in yet a better way

 

The boats are loaded get your tickets to Europe

Somehow someway you’ll cope

We don’t want your demonic money

Your schools, your rules, your pope

These are fighting words I declare

These are fighting words say a prayer

 

When will God intervene?

Check out the scene

Do you desire a nuclear kiss?

An endless apocalypse?

Such are the wages of sin

When the missiles are launched nobody will win

 

Take a breath, relax

Hear the melody of a lonesome sax

We’re taking our lands back

You can resist

But it’ll be no contest

Fourth World Nation

Fourth World Nation

 

Your history but lies your natural tongue

Fiery hornets from hell how you stung

Columbus got lost now we’re counting the cost

Nobody nowhere you have a heart of frost

 

We are the remnant no salvation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

Confined to our barren reservation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

 

The wages of sin who understands

An unholy holocaust by your righteous hands

You have your Bible but you refuse to obey

We’ll have our time before Judgment Day

 

We are the remnant no salvation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

Confined to our barren reservation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

 

On the winds hear our eternal cries

The voice of Crazy Horse never dies

Once the buffalo roamed with no number

Once the buffalo stampeded with thunder

 

In defiance of science what have you done

Wicked evil there’s nothing new under the sun

Paradise deformed to Babylon the Great

You shall be crushed by the weight of your own hate

 

We are the remnant no salvation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

Confined to our barren reservation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

Train Wreck

 Train Wreck

 

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

 

Running down the line looking so fine

A hell of a train called make it all mine

Iron and steel it’s a fire of fury

Get off of the tracks it’s in a hurry

A world away it didn’t seem true

I fell in love like young girls always do

 

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

A train wreck a world of pain

A train wreck life’s insane

A train wreck coming in vain

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

A train wreck and it’s coming again

 

Mother picked my man before I was born

Between custom and Love I was torn

Outcast I rode the plains with Crazy Horse

The elders would not let me divorce

We were free as the sky never knowing

It all would end with a whistle blowing

 

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

A train wreck a world of pain

A train wreck life’s insane

A train wreck coming in vain

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

A train wreck and it’s coming again

 

Liquor lies and soldiers ready to fight

So much for us making love all night

I kissed him hard as we said goodbye

I knew we were through I broke down to cry

Our hope was just to live our own way

Before the iron dragon had its day

 

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

A train wreck a world of pain

A train wreck life’s insane

A train wreck coming in vain

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

A train wreck and it’s coming again

 

Like the Buffalo we are no more

We won the battle but lost the war

Like my people I am of the past

Love stories have no choice but to last

At six every morn the train rolls by

When something is born something must die

 

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

A train wreck a world of pain

A train wreck life’s insane

A train wreck coming in vain

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

A train wreck and it’s coming again

 

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

 

I ride the plains you can still hear my cry

When something is born something must die

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh

"Forgetting Alexander" by John Kaniecki

There is an ingrained arrogance of the European culture, especially as manifested by the United States. The United States claims that they are the greatest civilization that ever lived at any time. This boast is echoed by the repeated cries of “We’re number one.”

So what are we exactly number one in? Military spending is one, almost outspending the rest of the world combined. We have more people incarcerated than any other nation. We have great material wealth but people living in poverty and children going hungry. We have no universal health care.

In fairness there are some wonderful things about the United States. Its people is it greatest treasure, but then again another segment of the population is the world’s worst nightmare. We have the wonderful ideas of the founding fathers but they were plagiarized from the Native Americans. Still freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion are worthy of praise.

Unfortunately the United States does not live up to its ideals. Not only that, but the government simply does not try. What the United States and the world in general needs is a paradigm shift away from destructive greed. This lust for mammon is bleeding the blood of the poor in endless wars. Simultaneously it is destroying the environment. It is time to throw capitalism on the ash heap of history as we have done with monarchies.

People will rightly claim that capitalism is the best system to make money. But money is far from being my ‘god’. We need a shift from the carnal to the spiritual. We need a world where the value of a human being’s life is over the value of material things.  

Another myth is that ‘communism’ doesn’t work. There have been many communal societies, such as the Native Americans in both continents that had perfectly functioning societies. They had no prisons, no psychiatric hospitals, no poverty or hunger and almost no warfare. Don’t believe the lies you are told about the indigenous peoples of this land. The United States tries to hold these people in a negative light to in some way justify the genocide of noble civilizations. I can prove that the United States has flagrantly violated all the treaties with the Native Americans which are over 500. So if you want to believe the history of a proven liar, you are quite welcome to be a fool.

American ‘exceptionalism’ has taken the United States to new heights of arrogance. The United States believes that they have the right to military intervene anywhere in the world by some moral mandate. The United States should take a long, hard, look in the mirror and clean up its own mess. Leading by example is truly the way to go.

That brings us to the poem, “Forgetting Alexander”. History records that Alexander the Great conquered the known world. Most people conditioned by the American indoctrination won’t even recognize the absurdity of such a statement. Alexander may have led a great army which did such a feat. Clearly generals, soldiers, weapons makers, farmers, and so forth aided in the effort. To make a statement giving all of the credit to Alexander shows the psychology of the problem.


Therein lies in arrogance so deeply embedded in our culture. Like Christopher Columbus discovering a place already inhabited by a flourishing civilization. It is high time that we turn the world upside down. To place the common man as the hero and to correctly identify the criminal nature of those who exploit the world for financial gain. We can begin by “Forgetting Alexander”.

Forgetting Alexander

By John Kaniecki

I am picking daisies
Amongst tossed stones
Giant, great in size

Once before the legions marched
Many years ago
Conquering
Killing
Wholesale Slaughtering
Making widows
Creating orphans

Alexander
May you be forgotten
And all those
Who uphold your image
So this poem
Will be a quaint
Disturbing
Puzzle

Let the daises grow
For another's true love
