The ending is the beginning. (part I)

Deny night of beaming moon smiles and you’ll know where I am.
Take away every ocean to be replaced by the desert vastness of my dried blood.
Give these mountains no sky, no air, and no snowcaps, and you’ll see who I am.
Destroy endless forests and rainfall for your blank soul to feel my sadness, I am a tear.
Give poison to homeless children so I can become nothing along side of them.
Empty rifles unloading onto every species standing, crawling, and begging before you;
this will give you my artistic tattooed flesh for trophy walls and your pleasure.
Please drop bombs emptying all life but your own, for then you’ll know my disappointments, my regrets, and my sins.
I beg of you, please begin.

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

Chief Joseph - Nez Perce
