The Native American Experience Part 3

|
Within the part of this series of articles, I'll
leave you with the lyrics to the first song I have
written in three years.
I don't want people to view me as a cold heartless bastard or to have what I express here with my own views and opinions to reflect back on Native Americans in a negitive backlash. When I speak about the affect Native teachings have had upon me, I share them with you in the most honest way I know how to. I just say what I'm feeling. I express myself in a no bullshit type of form and I realize some people are sensitive to this harsh style of reality. I'm working on this, but you must understand, I have seen too much killing, violence, brutality and cruelty in my life, to last me ten life-times. I want society to know there is another side to us people on the wrong side of the law. Believe it or not, some of us are human. The Native American Red Road has touched me deeply in an emotionally fueled heartfelt way. It's so powerful that it caught me off guard. I have found that the Red Road is not an easy path to walk in life, muchless in prison. I have lived all these years within an environment of the worst sewage known to the human race. I have seen and heard things normal society would be absolutely apalled at. I tend to be extemely opinionated when it comes to the ugliness of this world and my life. Those feelings at times come into conflict with what I'm learning from Native American teachings. When I have those moments of self-doubt and inner conflict, I have allowed my heart to lead me. In this way, I give myself over to the Red Road. The Native Americans of the olden times were much wiser men than I. My life has been full of self destruction. If the Red Road can free my spirit so that I may live again and find peace upon earth, they can have my life. I give it openly and freely to the Native American blood that flows through my veins. Because of my life experiences I honestly don't know if I can fully abandon some of those deep emotional scares and beliefs that I tend to hold onto. I'm the kind of man who believes in the Death Penalty. Even with all the death I have personally seen, I feel that any person who knowingly commits a vicious, heinous crime against children, the elderly or some innocent victim in society has earned the right to be put to death. I also hold this belief for predators of children and helpless women. Does this make me a monster or Non-Native American because I feel this way inside after a life-time of seeing the worst bottom-feeding predators on this planet reek their havoc upon innocent society? Keep an open mind and heart. |
