Where is my black-petaled Flower?

Have you ever seen the Skeena where the Tsimshian run and play? 

Have you ever watered flowers with the tears of evil's day?

For Gott who made The People of the land we call Our Own

Made The People of The Other by the words that He has sown.

The lofty will of justice for the boys and girls who cry

And the kindly folk are recompensed by the Son who came to die.

If, beyond the scope of evil, where the depth of heart is pearled,

In the door He knocking beckons for a solace from the world.

Welcome in the Child who was born to live a light

In the pure and quiet silence of the choice you make sin sight.

Aghast at all the evil wrought by those who birthed a Gott

Raging at their insolence while neglecting their own thought

The cleansing river's water's weeping daughters lead to health

By the good they wield in hatred of the opps who work in stealth

Flower garden tenders who with poised and loving choice

Bestowed on earth by birth a Boy who kept his shaky voice

Mother after mother after mother gave us this opportunity to live life. And it is the children who dared to look at their mothers and said, "thank you for teaching me to evaluate morals and as painful as it may be, I will hold those morals up fiercely as a kind and brave warrior to lead our people out of the fucking desert," it was they who taught us to love, for to love is to be deeply honest.
