The river of life is stained red with the blood of innocents we have spilled, in one genocidal massacre after another; purely for lust of profit and power. When will our gluttonous thirst for greed induced killing be quenched, so the water’s of LOVE that fill the river may again flow clear and once more our Soul’s reflection may be seen shimmering in them?
just LOVE…

“I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people’s dream died there. It was a beautiful dream…” ~ Nicholas Black Elk
