The Seventh Fire is Flickering

The flood gates of revolution are about to burst open, and as those stagnant docile caretakers and guardians of oppression become overwhelmed by the displeasure of the people, those of us that maintain our composer will reorganize the masses under a new old banner of renewed freedom and strength. We modern day warriors are trying to light the 8th fire, and as we go out to the elders to ask for their direction, their approval, we find most are too reluctant to offer their assistance. For our ancestors do not recognize some of them at all as well. Some of them or their parents have lost our ways to boarding schools, some have no wisdom to offer for they were not nurtured in the ways of our ancestors. Some of them have abandoned our ways to fulfill their selfish feelings of belonging to the white world, some have just failed to pick up that wisdom and are just as pitiful as an Anishinaabe as a young baby. Today most of our people are to shallow, superficial, too self-indulgent to be recognized by our ancestors and manidoog, most ceremonies are done in vein because our ancestors have abandoned us due to their constantly displeasure of what we have allowed ourselves to become. Too many false people pollute our lodges and are not being confronted on their lack of virtue preventing them from adhering to the significance of our teachings. They pervert our teachings to serve them instead of serving our people through the teachings, and they refuse to give up their selfish corrupted ways because they are scared of losing sight of who they think they are. The two roads of peace and the road of destruction have now been placed in front of us, we today have been warned we are pursuing the mass extinction that some of the tribes of our relatives have suffered. We have allowed ourselves to fall out of balance with nature in order to fulfill the white mans progress of greed that is rampantly consuming our ability to survive. We are no-longer the protectors of our mother earth as our ancestors once were, most of the yards of our people resemble landfills, their behaviors resemble those of the overindulgent white mans. we have lost our connection to our mother that gave us so much power to protect ourselves and way of life from those that do not respect the ways and nature of things that give us meaning. Most of us have abandoned that for conformity and assimilation, we have lost our ways. As we sit back chained to these IRA governments and their stiffing policies and watch the white man accelerate the extinction process of mankind, we are allowing ourselves to lose our reason to live. We are sacrificing our children to our greed and fear, we are letting them down everyday, we are failing to show them the strength of our ancestors, everything we are is diminishing. Conflict is inevitable. We must once again stand up and openly refuse these poisonous ways of living from destroying us all by finding ways to honor our mother earth before her discomfort forces her to consume us all, even our babies. The industrialized capitalist greed of those jeopardizing our ability to survive must be confronted and forced to be made aware their drunk of greed that is threatening to destroy us all. There are these 'green technologies' that will allow us to return to being in balance and attuned to the needs of our mother, they will help us recover from the greedy exploitation and abuse our earth has been forced to endure. All these money minded indians that glorify that dollar are just as much our enemies that threaten our survival as those greedy men around the planet putting us at risk. Their greed connects them all to the energy of this destruction that is now in front of us all. They condone and encourage us to go down that path, we all need to confront these men with intervention or force before they bring this destruction upon us all, the seventh fire is flickering.
