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."

#AfterTheFire - #KleeBenally

"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…?"

The Warriors
by #SnottyNoseRezKids

"I don't rock 'n' roll, nah, I stand and rock (Standin' Rock, yi)
I think there's something in the water, here's some food for thought
Is it really a felony for wanting my water clean?
Expect us not to rage against the machine
We ain't movin' like Rosa P, nope
You know why, 'cause this dreamcatcher's catchin' your pipe dream
Look what happened to Flint
No disrespect, but the same happens to village kids that sip water from the tap
And they're dyin' to live from the cancer it gives
Where's the state of emergency for them?
Act like you know the story
Broken treaties, unholy matrimony
One nation under the creator, homie
All my relations, mni wiconi"
