They tried to silence the music
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Spanish, the Portuguese,
the French, the British.
They all tried to mute, to squelch
the songs, using genocide.
They all tried to eradicate
the golden voices of warrior Eagles.
They all tried to erase the
echoing beat from the drums of this land.
Tyranny, genocide was the
raging noise, drowning out the music.
Yet, in over four hundred
years, they all, could not kill their songs
of life, of love, of respect
for all that Mother Earth has provided man.
Be he of the original
colour, or caucasian, yellow, dark brown, or black.
They all have failed to
exterminate, to terminate the First Nation’s voice.
A voice, who’s soul, soars
on high, above them all, on the winds of eternal time.
All the First Nation’s, Heroes,
their Prophets, have stated, our voices will be heard.
We will once again become
the music, the beat, the songs, the voices of pure reason.
