ghost dancers…

a voice
encircled by
official fears
government troops
ghost dancers
in
china
iran
cuba
mongolia
the states
prophets
are everywhere
dancing to truth’s music
disappearing
from the circle
of life
for
spreading the word
of those unheard
bound to this earth
covered with
diseased blankets
of lies
listen
to the chanting
love
chanting
peace
chanting
freedom
but
then
silence

and they did unto others…

just like before
the hole was dug
perhaps it was
more of a trench
a mass grave
for the living
families
were herded in
beaten men
pregnant women
helpless children
all into this ghetto
sealed
with walls
wires
checkpoints
ships
and of course rules
for maintaining
social standards
everyone in
no one out
like every
grave
