The Unsustainable

from The Unsustainable Sessions by #KleeBenally (2019)

"all my rage bleeds out my throat
into rivers that used to flow
into canyons painting these deserts
so that they will grow. (once again)

is it too late
to rethink this?
on the eve of another apocalypse…
how far are will willing to go
to resist?
how far are will willing to go?

we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

are you still waiting and hoping this will all go away?
or for a better cage or more comfortable chains?
while these roots wither and they decay
well, its not broken, it’s made this way…
we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

and if the structures don’t change?
and the control remains the same?
they bring terror but they have names
so fuck your votes, your politicians, and reforms
we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

end this cycle
destroy what destroys us

we can’t sustain."

"After The Fire

On the eve of rage at the edge of despair
On the backs of the bruised, we’ve been there…
Will you see this through?

on the edge of this night
So sharp it cuts just like a knife
but these words aren’t just for you…

why cut the hand pulling back the bow
when the arrow is not yet let go
…perhaps this is bigger than you?

Behind the bars of this cage
In clenched teethe biting back our rage
When all the lies can’t hold back the truth…

Chorus:
On the eve of rage at the edge of despair
When we can’t wake from this nightmare
Will you see this through?

when the cameras are gone and tear gas has cleared
When you realize how it can go as quick as it appeared
Will you see this through?

When the likes and shares dwindle down
And there are less feet on the ground
Will you see this through?

when the non-profits set another course
paychecks cashed without remorse
will you see this through?

Break:
After the ashes become clouds…
After the fire has burnt out…
and when they desecrate these sacred grounds…
Will you see this through…?"

[Photos] Protect Ha'Kamwe' Stop Big Sandy #LithiumMine Protest Walk
"#WaterIsLife!" #Hualapai say as they march today to protect their sacred ceremonial place Ha'Kamwe' from a lithium mine.

"'Water is life!' Hualapai said as they marched to protect their sacred ceremonial place, Ha'Kamwe' from a lithium mine.

"'For generations and through modern day, Tribal members have used Ha’Kamwe’ (also known as Cofer Hot Spring) for cultural and traditional purposes. It features prominently in tribal songs and stories about their history and connection to their land, including those known as the #SaltSongTrail,' the Hualapai Tribe said in its lawsuit filed against the U.S. Interior.

"Hualapai filed suit against Interior's #DebHalaand. The CEO of the so-called #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany, a tribal enterprise based in Farmington, New Mexico, was hired by an Australian company, #Hawkstone, aka #ArizonaLithium, to drill into Hualapai's sacred site for lithium.

"While sipping wine at the Sydney Opera House, #investors heard how much money they can make mining lithium in Arizona. The enthusiastic project manager was excited to tell them that Arizona loves mining, as can be seen with all its #CopperMines.

"'They are a mining friendly state,' says Paul Lloyd, managing director at Arizona Lithium, owned by #HawkstoneEnergy, in Perth, Australia. 'They are very pro-lithium production.'

"Federal judge #DianeHumetewa Hopi, granted a temporary restraining order. Humetewa is the first federal judge in Arizona to halt #Haaland's runaway train of permits for destruction.

"Hualapai's lawsuit said the Interior's #BureauOfLandManagement, BLM, never consulted Hualapai before authorizing #drilling."

#HavasupaiRally on #WorldWaterDay: Protecting #SacredWater from #UraniumMining

March 26, 2024
By #HaulNo!
Photos by Xipe Rivera, #CensoredNews

"HAVASUPAI -- #Havasupai reaffirms commitment to protect sacred homelands from destructive #uranium mining with prayer and rally on Friday, March 22, 2024. Haul No! volunteer #XipeRivera delivers critical updates and unwavered support from Haul No!

"On World Water Day, I had the opportunity to visit the Havasupai Tribal Lands as a representative of #HaulNo! and join the Tribal Leaders, the Children and the Elders in prayer and rally against the #PinyonPlainUraniumMine.
The village is tucked deep in the #GrandCanyon and is not accessible by road - you must hike in or be flown in by helicopter. This was a profound experience. A soft and fierce reminder. An affirmation of why it is we do what we do."
