Mineral Rites

Amethyst 

Obsidian 

Iron 

or Jade; 

Bones of Earth 

for which we trade. 

Transform 

Balance 

Attune 

Heal; 

These are their purpose 

upon the Wheel. 

Silent, timeless, wise 

Awaiting only open eyes. 

What makes you believe 

you have earned the right 

to drain my blood, 

sell my bones, 

and poison 

my battered remains? 

A brief taste of wealth and power? 

Greedy fools, 

Respect your tools! 

Black tears 
Spreading like cancer, 

Poison in my blood, 

Destroying the possibility 

of Life and Healing 

before it's even begun. 

Nowhere to run 

from ungrateful 

careless children... 

Save me from 

Humanity! 

As within, 

so without... 

Dance gently, 

along a good red road 

Sing of Love, 

Change, 

and Power, 

that Harmony may come 

at last 

to Grandmother's bower.
