by Daniel Cox
One day I was playing hockey,
one day I got caught shining my bark, one day I had ice in my tooth. Thoughtfully I said I
play hockey and fight too much, but now I know how to hit a puck I just need a place
to put my puck. I found a place.
Our Body, Our Nation
by Eileen Vizenor
My body is my nation.
Who is to tell me what to say;
Or think.
I have a mind in my body
That can think for itself.
It has ideas and suggestions,
Some good. Some nbt.
But regardless my body is my
Nation, and I will decide.

Obsolete automatons power
Lives, lights and run our icons
Dictate the way we
Live. Mind numbing devices
Ruin our lives inside and out.
Tribeless people cry out for
The right to release emotion
That’s been penned up for a generation
Or two. We have a long way
To go for healing.

SDl was just a paf>er tiger
Israel has the real technology,
Which ended up in our hands through pacts

Remember the Battle for Britain?
Do not engage the enemy unless engaged!
You will give away your, position!
The global community now faces much worse problems.
Will we act like our allies
Or will we act like our enemies?
